under duress

don't need a helmet if i have my heart, don't need your war to find peace, i don't need to learn to live in compromise, i'll never kneel and kiss your ring, the sickness spreads under duress, compassion bends under duress, wouldn't need a gun if you didn't have one, don't need you to serve or protect, i am not a number just patiently waiting, to enter the belly of the beast, the sickness spreads under duress, compassion bends under duress, the delusions of control, are rotting the root of the tree, it's the fear that keeps you there, and it's mine that sets me free, the delusions of control, are rotting the root of the tree, it's the fear that keeps you there, and it's mine that sets me free, the sickness spreads under duress, compassion bends under duress, don't need a helmet if i have my heart, don't need your war to find peace, i don't need to learn to live in compromise, i'll never kneel and kiss your ring
