Let It Be Broke

AFI · Shut Your Mouth & Open Your Eyes [1997]

I live in truth, complacently.

Where's the threat you see in me?

Am I the cause of your Self consciousness?

You scream at me 'cause I can't ignore

the destructiveness that you support,

'cause my life's contrary to yours.

No soft words from my mouth.

A glazed look in your eyes.

I live in the world of reality,

you comfort yourself with lies.



I will release myself, I will detach myself from you.

I will detach myself from your kind.



I've seen your life but I can't see

how it is that you can be

so content in your own ignorance.

Its been so dark for so long

now a new light has come along,

illuminating all,

so shut your eyes.

No soft words from my mouth.

A glazed look in your eyes.

I live in the world of reality,

you comfort yourself with lies.



I will release myself, I will detach myself from you.

I will detach myself from you kind.



I won't tell you what you want to hear,

I will show you what's real.

I will, will defy.
