The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name, your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame, dishonor
Witch-hunt, modern day, determining decay
The blatant disarray, disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace, defying common place
Unending paper chase, unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witch-hunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly, discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die, intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you, it's teeth and talons through
You're living catch two two, deluding
A mass hysteria, a megalomania
Reveal dementia, reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo, you will be

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witch-hunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

(Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Pulled for you (shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied, you're being ostracized
Your hell is multiplied, upending
The fallout has begun, oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none, to nothing
You're reaching your nadir, your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear, defending

Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witch-hunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
