The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name,
Your honesty to blame,
Put dignity to shame,
Dishonor,
Witchhunt, modern day,
Determining decay,
The blatant disarray,
Disfigure,
The public eyes' disgrace,
Defying common place,
Unending paper chase,
Unending

Deafening,
Painstaking,
Reckoning,
This verticgo it doth bring


Shorstest straw,
Challenge liberty,
Downed by law,
Live in infamy,
Rub you raw,
Witchhunt riding through,
Shortest straw,
The shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly,
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die,
Intruding,
Boubt sunk itself in you,
It's teeth and talons through,
Your living catch-22,
Deluding

A mass hysteria,
A megalomania,
Reveal dementia,
Reveal

Secretly,
Silently,
Certainly,
In vertigo you will be

Shorstest straw,
Challenge liberty,
Downed by law,
Live in infamy,
Rub you raw,
Witchhunt riding through,
Shortest straw,
The shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied,
Your being, ostracized,
YOur hell is multiplied,
Upending,
The fallout has begun,
Oppressive damage done,
Your many turned to none,
To nothing,
You're reaching your nadir,
Your will has disappeared,
The lie is crystal clear,
Defending

Channels red,
One word said,
Blacklisted,
With vertigo make you dead

Shorstest straw,
Challenge liberty,
Downed by law,
Live in infamy,
Rub you raw,
Witchhunt riding through,
Shortest straw,
The shortest straw has been pulled for you,
Pulled for you
