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.
Breathe deep and easy, swallow this pride. Stare at my shaking hands though bone dry, blood shot eyes. Clock strip the hours, I count the miles. Will you be there waiting, awake until sunrise.
I have traveled in darkness, for what seems like days, I crawl from these sinkholes collapsed under this weight I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight.
In the glow of twilight, our world is finally calm. I felt it complete me, when the stars give way to dawn. A language universal, but I speak not his tongue. Is this a night that spans forever, or a dawn that never comes.
I have traveled in darkness, for what seems like days, I, come from the same house, collapsed under this wing. I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight.
Tomorrow we might wake in servitude and service? I will give you everything if you would only have me! Tomorrow we will sweat and toil, Our hands will quiver caked with soil, Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance, But tonight we dance, But tonight we dance!
And for this, I travel in darkness, for what seems like days, I, come from the same house, collapsed under this wing. I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, Just say you'll stay and dance with me tonight.
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
in the face of change that's when she turned to me and said, "i'm not sure anymore..." and there amidst the waves and the cloudless skies that blanket the year before i watch my life wash a shore
have you ever been a part of something that you thought would never end? and then of course it did have you ever felt the weight inside you pulling away inside your skin? and then something had to give
[Chorus:] now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone? the best parts of this have come and gone and now that is all this is with the reasons clear we'll spend another year without direction, full of fear and now things will be different
there's nothing simple when it comes to you and i always something in this everchanging life and it probably always will now that time is getting harder to come by the same arguments are always on our mind we've killed this slowly fading light
[Chorus:] now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone? the best parts of this have come and gone and now that is all this is with the reasons clear we'll spend another year without direction, full of fear but now things will be different
and now something has kept me here too long and you can't leave me if i'm already gone
well now something (hey) has kept me here too long and you can't leave me (hey) if i'm already gone
now let's say that something (hey) has kept me here too long and you can't leave me (hey) if i'm already gone
make the same mistakes we're always hanging on break the promises we're always leaning on all this time spent waking up {now i} keep this line open to get this call from you {as you} speak the words that keep me coming back to you now this time it's all different
now something has kept me here too long and now i'm gone...
