VNIX - Holy Wood (live)

Holy Wood (lyrics)

All boy catholic high school
Hallway smell of musk, myrrh, and lacquer
Puberty hell; such an afferent disorder
Young virile men try flexing their muscles
In the back of the class, my fist like a comet
Riding a high on my big red rocket
Was somebody else before this sexual reign
Did I lose my innocence in the man I became?

Oh, what does it mean to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean to stand in my power?

Is it luck to be popular or not fit in?
My grade's never reflected my intelligence, just my mind's wandering
Now an adult; so numb, dull, and zombified
Will I lose my spirit if I outgrow the kid inside?
Not born to a country allegedly great
Not born to a government betraying my fate
Not born to false power, the rich, or the fake
Not born to your cover to manipulate

Oh, what does it mean to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean... to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean, can you tell me?

Beware the American dream
A nightmare on red, white, and blue street
While we're distracted in our rhetorics and fantasies
Our Uncle Sammy Krueger kills us in our sleep

Not born to a country allegedly great
Not born to a government betraying my fate
Not born to false power, the rich, or the fake
Not born to your cover to manipulate

Oh, what does it mean to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean... to stand in my power?
Oh, what does it mean, can you tell me?
Oh, what does it mean to stand in my, stand in my power?
