Your Past Condemns You

Do you remember the time
When we could make mistakes
Those days are gone
No one will give us a break

I remember us both
Laughing together, my friend
So I thought we could put this behind us
Make amends

But you seem to enjoy
This now found power of trial
For someone so secular
You are the most judgemental

Every single word you say
Joke you tell, thing you do
Is forever here to stay
Your past condemns you

Get banned
Silenced
Cut off
Erased

You want to be lady Justice
Hold her sword and balance
But you forget that she is supposed
To be blinded

The herd is not with you, dude
It is it’s own thing, ok
When they find out what you did
Do you really think you’ll be safe

Every single word you say
Joke you tell, thing you do
Is forever here to stay
Your past condemns you

Get banned (get banned)
Silenced (silenced)
Cut off (cut off)
Erased

The idea wasn’t bad
They started with liars, racists, douchebags

But then started spitting fire
In a he said, she said

To lit up the pyre
And burn them dead

Along with the prior
Sins of our past

They preach to the choir
Burying those who dare
Not sing what they require
You won’t be spared
Get off your high horse
Let’s see how you compare

Next time you aim my way
Look at the mirror instead
Then throw stones headway
Do you want to be fair

We don’t have to pay
And you don’t have to stare
At me, at you or any prey
This we declare

Together
Astray
