You Give and Give and They Take and Take

from The Third Pillar by Drew Danburry

lyrics

I was only hoping for a way to escape me, I didn't mean to do damage to a fellow human being,
But I can see, if it hurts me, it hurts all humanity.

But I'll build walls to keep the devil in control, a man's alter ego only is what he wants you to know,
And it ain't right, but it's all you get tonight.

I'll repeat the process over hoping the results will change,
But the one thing you can count on is people will remain the same.
I'll be objectified till the end of my life,
You claim me mine but I'm no bitch, and I've a wife.

With every conversation I can feel you closing in, narrowing your vision for a simple sign to fit,
But I can see, oh I can see you try to steal my humanity.
