Fight the Opression
sick of the empathy.
Im here to burn these streets,
Feel my, hate, rise beneath, these tempted lies.
Fueling chaos, is our lives, we are
Nothing more then pawns in the game you play.
Sheilding truth from lies, you pretend it matter much,
In this relation ship of twisted lies.
I rise against your opression,burning cities, killing things,
shoulda let me be free when you had the chance, you gave me nothing.
Now im here to fight for my rights.((x3))
I fight for my rights, letting nothing stand in my way.
Your rules twisted me, in to something i hate, something i cant stand.
Slowly turned me in to you, now, im fighting for my rights, against you
i want to be free, living my life, the way i want to.
Not a thing, will stop me!!!!!! (x2))
Now, i am free to live my own life, you, failed, to stop my uprising and now, im living my life!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Expression
It would be neat to hear this to your music! Not knowing your history, one can only imagine an overly rigid upbringing with no space for you to be yourself. Line 10. Even as you fight, I see your unhappiness in line 13. Good luck on your road to individuality. Remember, a parent's goal should be to raise their child(ren) to be independent, self-sufficient, and unique individual(s). At the same time, no parent is perfect in this endeavor; empathy, compassion, and forgiveness may be due. Good luck in the contest.

i know how you feel, i get the same feelings with my parents and everyone else in my life telling me how to live, dont let them, its a bad thing, rise against, rebel, do anything you can to keep control

I like this, quite a lot. I'm trying to imagine what how it would be played and sung.
-
this really has a good message going. Personally i would have liked it to rhyme more, but i wouldn't change it. Although you didn't win, it was still a great job <3

I didn't really like this one. It just seemed boring and unoriginal to me. It had too much punctuation and just seemed a bit choppy at times.
Sorry.
-
yeah blame it all on them why don't you! It's so easy to do so as you're fighting to find your own voice and ground, just try not to hurt them too much in the process coz you know they do love you despite... anyway, GL w/ '08!!
