I Only Said - Shihad

I only said those things

So you couldn’t put it back on me

What’s said is said

But I never lied

And the harder I try

The harder it gets to remember the path

That led me to this place

There seems to be no way out of here

I only wanted to protect myself

From meaning and cause

But you can only try

To lift yourself out of the gutter so long

Your form surrounds me

I’m left alone, an empty space

But at least it’s my place

And the end result is a world

That never cared

For the likes of different ideas

I had security, and now it’s gone

I can’t take the pressure

And I don’t blame youth

The blame’s on you and it stands forever

Open your tired eyes

It could make a difference

You can’t wonder why

We’re in need of assistance

Open your tired eyes

It could make a difference

Or at least just try

By recreating the system
