Self-proclaimed rebels say We must oppose the system You gotta take a stand - if youre not against em youre with em Signs read Support the troops Bring em home No more innocent victims But when a homeless veteran asks for spare change youre too busy protesting to even listen And Im no different; I live in conflict and contradiction But it can be so beautiful when I dont reject what lies within Its beautiful the way agony connects us to the living I think of the world when I hurt, and keep on existing in the now. I bought this album when I was 15. Looking back on it about 4 years later its weird to notice these lyrics, almost as if for the first time again, in the context of how closely they relate to my current state of mind and my beliefs. Its really magical to examine the way that art makes us evolve and change as a person. Its just sad that the guy behind these words is no longer alive, but his words will continue to touch peoples lives in the strange immortality which is art.
