To all you people standing proud, thinking you know what I'm about, I think you can fuck yourself (Let's go!) From your safe distance in this crowd That's when your voice becomes so loud Still trying to keep us down
Walk one mile in shoes I never asked to fill But still I press on?.
I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down We sing together now.
Give me one reason to look you in the eye (Just one!) Tell me exactly why it is that you think you are worth my time
I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything. My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down We sing together now.
To all the ones that shake my hand Then talk your shit behind my back To those who claim they understand But never heard a word I said In spite of you, I am still here This vision has never been more clear As we sing together now.
(Now that's when!) I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down We sing together now.
They turn the lights down low, In shadows hiding from the world, Only coming out when it gets cold
The seas part when they hit the floor, The voices carry on and out the door And everything you touch turns into gold
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') That's when I got up and left
A beating heart and a microphone, A ticking clock in an empty home Still tells of these times so long ago, And even though I've come so far, I know I've got so far to go and any day now I'll explode
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') That's when I got up and left
Each and everyday it leads into tomorrow And tomorrow brings one less day without you But don't wait up just leave the light on Cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (Now this is too amazing) That's when I got up and left
If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity We're taking on water and about to fuckin' sink No one seems to notice, no one even blinks The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea
[Chorus] Countdown, to the very end, Equality, an invitation that we wont extend Ready aim, pull the trigger now, in time you firmly secure your place in hell
State of the union address, reads war torn country still a mess the words: power, death, and distorted truth are read between the lines of the red, white, and blue
[Chorus]
Your place in hell [x2]
'Guilty' is what our graves will read, no years, no family, we did nothing (nothing) to stop the murder of a people just like us
