This Bloody Privilege

from Justice v. Justification by Self Neglect

/

lyrics

I have to believe that the people I hurt aren't like me,
I have to believe that the land I live on belongs to me.
I have to believe that my position in life was earned by me.
I have to believe that I am stronger than those who disagree,
that the worst of me goes unseen.

And if it doesn't, I don't know what I will do,
I might just go shoot up a school,
or send a million threats to you,
won't tear myself apart for you
please do not let this be true.

I stand on unsteady legs,
a victim of cognitive dissonance,
a slave to justification,
I know you're all growing sick of this.

I tell you I already know,
but I'm begging to understand
the difference between you and me
I can't seem to comprehend.
At first I was defensive and angry,
but now I'm starting to see,
there's more to the way that I've hurt you,
and more to the way I must be.
