Kyle Landon - Halloween Battles Lyrics

She asked how my year was, I said, Whatchu mean
I barely woke up, I was caught in some dream
Where I couldn't see anything but some eyes
I wondered why everyone's trapped in disguise

She stopped and she laughed and she asked if I voted
The candidates' corpses were all cold and bloated
We sent them down Styx but I don't think they floated
It's just spectacle but the public ain't know it

I said, "Stop, wait up, what do you mean
The same bird's got both a left and right wing
Picking just gives legitimacy
To the scam of the system of two parties

You must enter a room to destroy it
No other way to even enjoy it
They bred fear with hate again, we don't deserve
To smile when boots crush our throats on the curb

Disoriented, I said, See you later
I tripped in the street on broken calculators
I hope my newspeak didn't dub me a traitor
I'm emotional but won't seek something greater

I remembered I didn't know my way home
The fog was so thick it was probably just foam
I heard the world's wetiko gets rabid later
I walked in a demon's mouth during my prayer

I just hope we can get to a place where we don't have to care about this anymore
Impossible, don't waste your thoughts
I don't need you

Fence sitter
Such a shame
This climate
I'm so drained

Organized
You're despised
Organized
I'm done

What's the makeup for? You taking photos again
They're protesting but it's a fun date with my friends
I think I'ma sing this new chant that I just penned
I hate myself but have opinions to defend

Fear breeds hate, do you understand
Why they shoot us, on forsaken land
We're all free, so will you still stand
This is it, cuff up both my hands

Halloween battles, everyone's in some costume
Panic and struggle and disagreements 'til doom
You call it uniform but it's excuse to wound
Quitters want to run away to Mars or the moon

What do you kill for
Eye for an eye, of course
One life could start war
Afraid, what's in store

Candy, I miss candy
Trick or treat, keep chanting
What is it that I ask
Hard to eat with a mask

Neighbors never opened
Children are now hopeless
Grown-ups only hurt you
Can't give fire curfew

People in charge will not give what you needed
All the plates that you earned will all be eaten
So just disobey their rules 'cause they cheated
Don't matter who you were if you're defeated

Halloween battles are fights for my right to life
Humans who don't love are evil and they should die
Get into arguments but never hear reply
Nobody on this Earth will ever change their mind

Candy, I miss candy
Acronyms they keep chanting
My life's going too fast
Hard to sleep with a mask
