Lyrics - I Am The Weapon
Who would I be if I never met
A teacher, a priest, or a prophet?
What do I need? Tell me, what does it mean?
Am I living or dying the dream?
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
By a world I can't unsee
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me
I was a target, I was the mission
You had the power, your ammunition
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
Your concept of love and your hunger for war
Tell me, which one should I die for?
'Cause I am a product of how I was brought up
This cycle spins out of control
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
By a world I can't unsee
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me
I was a target, I was the mission
You had the power, your ammunition
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
Am I living or dying the dream?
Am I living or dying the dream?
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
By a world I can't unsee
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me
I was a target, I was the mission
You had the power, your ammunition
Now I'm the message (now I'm the message)
This is a lesson (this is a lesson)
Here in the present (here in the present)
I am the weapon
Now I'm the message (I am the weapon)
This is a lesson (I am the weapon)
Here in the present (I am the weapon)
I am the weapon
