Equal

Watching my friend just waste away
Is like holding onto the hand of a dying babe
Telling myself everything is ok
Is like lying to the face of an angel

Watching my town just waste away
Decimated by the end of a needle
Coughing and gasping and puffing in space
All just to feel like an angel

The answer to everything I wanted to know
Are falling into my brain now
Everything is good
The worlds problems solved
We are all created equal
Were all created equal

Watching my country just waste away
Is like staring into the eyes of a zombie
Clutching and scratching and squirming in place
Falling victim to the holocaust party

Watching the world just waste away
Is the saddest thing to ever have to witness
So much beauty enveloped in so much pain
As we fight for our invisible boundaries

The answer to everything I wanted to know
Are falling into my brain now
Everything is good
The worlds problems solved
We are all created equal
Were all created equal

And why is that so hard to see?
I am you and you and you are me
So tell me must we die in vain?
Were all created equal
We are all created equal
Were all created equal

The answer to everything I wanted to know
Are falling into my brain now
Everything is good
The worlds problems solved
We are all created equal
Were all created equal
