Refuse to surrender


Some government lackey was rewarded
With every word of mine that she recorded
Knowingly I deepened my death sentence
With every act of cold vengeance
With every thought I kept inside
An accused I'd be of a thought crime
So I have had to learn to be mute
Thoughtless and wordless
Actionless and fearless
They would have no proof
Despite their ability
To create evidence
I had to find a way
To leave this place
To escape
But the world I live upon
Sees me only as a pawn
In the eternal chess game
That it plays
This will all end
I am certain
And it is true
That I won't survive
But I'd rather leave early
Than be a part
Of their fetid vulgar hive
