[00:01.03] |
born in the flood |
[00:02.20] |
bloody fingerprint sets |
[00:03.32] |
black marketed fresh |
[00:05.39] |
water canons forget me not |
[00:07.03] |
epitaph airbrush with death |
[00:09.96] |
white t's |
[00:11.13] |
wife beaters |
[00:12.09] |
button up |
[00:12.95] |
reattach flesh |
[00:14.05] |
in between the lines |
[00:16.25] |
outside of the law |
[00:18.01] |
underneath the veil |
[00:19.76] |
we dig our foundations |
[00:21.28] |
we navigate the globe |
[00:22.81] |
trying to find a pattern to break the mold |
[00:25.07] |
with a family to feed |
[00:26.36] |
theres nowhere we wont go |
[00:27.12] |
but what if were caught |
[00:28.56] |
they say I'm a snitch |
[00:30.62] |
shot at the check point |
[00:32.06] |
found with his throat slit |
[00:34.13] |
theres spray paint on the teleprompter |
[00:36.21] |
anchorman screams that hes seen a monster |
[00:38.26] |
mayday |
[00:39.65] |
theres bloodstains on his shirt |
[00:40.76] |
mayday |
[00:41.63] |
they say that hes gone berserk |
[00:45.76] |
sometimes |
[00:46.96] |
when I wanna shut out this world |
[00:48.35] |
wanna rip up this page |
[00:50.11] |
wanna pour out this heart |
[00:51.87] |
wanna get up on this stage |
[00:53.46] |
and my lips become percussion |
[00:55.19] |
and my fists become the rage |
[00:56.85] |
and I pound on this table |
[00:58.43] |
til it gives me something to say |
[01:00.01] |
then I think about things that Ive seen |
[01:01.59] |
right in front of me |
[01:02.70] |
that I don't wanna believe |
[01:03.72] |
gimme one of these mikes |
[01:04.83] |
lemme let em know |
[01:05.88] |
the way that it is is not how its gonna be |
[01:08.41] |
not if we don't let em get ahead of us |
[01:10.53] |
the present tensions no threat |
[01:12.15] |
its just a fence across the path |
[01:13.65] |
that were already ready to walk |
[01:15.45] |
rock solid footsteps |
[01:16.79] |
let em put up obstacles |
[01:17.95] |
and prove that it isn't possible |
[01:19.83] |
|
[01:20.77] |
we don't give em any weight |
[01:22.11] |
true liberty and freedoms at stake |
[01:23.37] |
peace will never become pass |
[01:24.82] |
live my life until my last day |
[01:26.46] |
it was half-past eight in the bat cave |
[01:29.24] |
when the cracks in the plaster collapsed |
[01:31.15] |
and gave way to gaps in the pavement |
[01:32.90] |
mayday mayday |
[01:34.00] |
put it on blast |
[01:35.10] |
for the passengers and messengers |
[01:36.60] |
cause this is a disaster |
[01:38.05] |
|
[01:39.85] |
not far |
[01:41.30] |
off pissing on a cop car |
[01:42.69] |
in the hall with a pop tart |
[01:44.51] |
sipping liquor in the rock bar |
[01:46.06] |
everyone climb to the front line |
[01:48.86] |
lunchtimes canceled |
[01:49.80] |
all hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill |
[01:52.68] |
onlookers passers-by shake off that rubble |
[01:55.29] |
brush off your shoulders |
[01:57.58] |
break free from your standstill |
[01:59.50] |
signs of a better world |
[02:02.25] |
causes we understand |
[02:03.97] |
failures we expected to occur |
[02:05.61] |
and bring redemption for our sins |
[02:07.84] |
safety from the crowds |
[02:09.77] |
in the shadows on the run |
[02:11.66] |
we write our own cider house |
[02:13.39] |
rules to keep alive |
[02:15.14] |
rituals that prove their worth |
[02:17.07] |
search for systems we can trust |
[02:18.37] |
rhythms we can lock into |
[02:24.68] |
this is madness salvage teams can't bandage |
[02:26.95] |
hope when its damaged or broken compassion |
[02:28.46] |
not enough rope in the van when world is collapsing |
[02:28.80] |
our mode of action broadcast through the glass |
[02:30.10] |
its all we can manage donate with the plastic |
[02:33.78] |
scraps from the salad |
[02:35.27] |
hoping to balance emotions invalidated |
[02:36.97] |
and staged on 4:3 aspects |
[02:38.45] |
just ballast for sadness |
[02:39.85] |
lives shattered are standard fare for cameras and channels |
[02:43.34] |
stare no abracadabras |
[02:44.96] |
no faster answers or mantras for disasters |
[02:46.71] |
remastered and plastered got it all backwards |
[02:48.93] |
do you know the faction your backing |
[02:51.23] |
its another man down |
[02:52.98] |
another mother gone |
[02:53.83] |
child drowned |
[02:54.57] |
another silenced song |
[02:55.30] |
solitude |
[02:56.17] |
another kind of strong |
[02:56.99] |
I miss you |
[02:57.70] |
another strung along |
[02:58.46] |
missing in action |
[02:59.57] |
another page is blackened burned |
[03:01.19] |
turned to ashes to ashes |
[03:03.00] |
dust off the flags and the caskets |
[03:04.81] |
we will never find another you |
[03:06.50] |
despite the life of love we knew |
[03:08.10] |
these lightning times are trouble who |
[03:09.73] |
cant count the strikes that punished through |
[03:11.40] |
the bonds we thought would never break |
[03:13.11] |
and never will and never fade and never change |
[03:14.83] |
but there is the rage |
[03:16.33] |
of losing you to their mistakes |
[03:17.91] |
in between the lines |
[03:19.24] |
signs of a the next movement |
[03:20.34] |
refuge from the crowd |
[03:21.38] |
outside of the law |
[03:22.29] |
causes we understand |
[03:23.03] |
hands that trace |
[03:23.69] |
instructions for descendants in the |
[03:24.91] |
shadows on the run |
[03:26.32] |
underneath the veil |
[03:27.10] |
failures we expected to |
[03:28.22] |
occur and bring redemption for our sins |
[03:30.28] |
in between the lines |
[03:32.16] |
