Dshamilja Roshani - Life of a Missile Lyrics

I never wanted this
I never wanted to be born
I'm a missile in a genocide despising my own cause

With explosives for a heart
With fuel in my veins
My every body part precision
I cannot fail you when you aim
You who fire me
From my launcher's gaping mouth
While you are stationed miles away
Unharmed by my debris
You call me smart
Infuse my brain with intel gathered by your drones
Install a guidance system that cannot make me miss my target

And yet I know nothing of the places I destroy
I know nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Of the withering of dreams
The splintering of grief
The flickering of rage
The quiver of the cage
All of it gets swallowed by the crater that I leave

You have cursed me with a death that multiplies
You have coerced me into a mission that isn't mine

You who press my button
You who launch my rocket
And worst of all, you and you
And you who just keep watching
You who build me
You who export me
You who fund me
You who support me
You who ignore me
You who keep silent
You who sleep peacefully at night
You, Land of the Free that drops death on the unfree
You, Land of Never Again but too blinded by your guilt
Enabling Again when it happens in the present

Sometimes I almost wish myself upon you all
Blazing in my pain, searching for a way
To use my blast for justice and blow up in your face

But I know how hatred feels
I know how much it takes
From you and me and all of us
This ground that we must share
So more than anything, anything
Anything in these burning skies
I want to wipe out the vision of genocide in your eyes
