Look around you The world’s a mess But it’s always been Run, run, run Little rabbit Flee as fast as you can Hide from the fear Blame it all on “the man” But there’s always another shadow Another phantom in the night You’ll never find peace In fight or flight You can’t outrun the night You can’t hide from your own shadow Apathy isn’t giving up It’s stepping away They call it numbness A heart like stone Jaded, stoic Terminally alone No If you don’t pick your battles The fight picks you If you stand against every struggle Life. Becomes. War. No No FUCK NO You don’t have to hide You can’t outrun You ain’t got to fight Just don’t come undone Stare chaos in the eyes Anchor yourself Find it inside Your spine Dig down AND JUST STAND FUCKING STAND Stay still Hold your will Stand If you raise your sword Every time you see a problem You’ll burn out Or get beat down in time Not every fight needs a Karen to solve ’em Don’t waste your life On a cause you don’t even understand Nobody’s saying Live with your head in the sand Ignorance isn’t bliss It’s anxiety stuffed in a box Fear, cowardice Pants full of piss Know why you step up Learn when it’s not worth your energy Otherwise shut the fuck up And STAND Learn it Know it You choose your causes So choose them well Believe in them Believe in yourself Or you’re just a poser In your own private hell Fear is weakness Dressed up as distance or rage Strength comes from knowing Where And why And how To STAND
