Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see you had your mind all made up
You group of pitiful liars
Before I woke to face the day
Your master plan transpired
(Something told me)
This job has more to meet the eye
My song is not believed?
My words somewhat deceiving?
Now I'm unwhole
[PreChorus]
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave that scar
You cry for compensation
I ask you please just give us
[Chorus]
5 minutes alone
Just give us
5 minutes alone
[Verse 2]
I read your eyes, your mind was made up
You took me for a fool
You used complexion of my skin
For a counter racist tool
(You can't burn me)
I've spilled my guts out in the past
Taken advantage of
'Cause you know where I've come from
My past
[PreChorus]
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave that scar show
I'll bury your compensation
I ask you please just give us
[Chorus]
5 minutes alone
Just give us
5 minutes alone
[Bridge]
Head bangs on broken glass
[Chorus]
5 minutes
Alone
Just give us
[Chorus]
I ask you please just give us
5 minutes alone
Just give me
5 minutes alone
[Bridge]
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
[Outro]
5 minutes alone
5 minutes alone
5 minutes alone
5 minutes alone
