queso talk.

and Lucifer rang true

These men in high places

they build high walls

hoops to jump through

then their own walls fall

but be careful

who you speak your truth to

may boomerang

and come right back to you

like a bullet straight through you

they will say that your crazy

that it's all in your head

go back to sleep

keep dreaming

forget all that has been said

the books you've read

all the while

you're standing there

thinking, thinking, thinking

is this really real what i'm seeing?

the world has got people feeling

even things they don't even believe in

like they don't belong

but take it all with a grain of salt

especially their smiling faces

cause their smiles are just masks

that they're constantly changing

dangerous games to be playing

to speak out

against the problem

is to risk it all

it's not me v.s you

it's just us vs the darkness

and we can come together

to some sort of conflict resolution

instead of violence

chaos turns to confusion

where nothing makes sense

and all along

these men in high places

they build high walls

hoops to jump through

then their own walls fall

but be careful who you speak your truth to

may boomerang

and come right back to you
