You Are We

You are we Here lies our addiction The price is a truce To hide the afflicted right under our nose Tyrants, deprivers of truth Take what you can We’ve got nothing to lose So come and get it We’ve got nothing to lose Yeah I fucking said it Deprivers of the truth To be honest they force this upon us Show us the path Paved with glass Sentiment at last The knife behind your back Our smoke will paint the sky Cover up the lights that guide us Celebrate decline We made our bed and I will lie to you That everything's alright We’ll dam the river We’ll dam the river and try to Hide from the water Pre creation in the reign of sin If the land has been swallowed We’ll learn how to swim Begging for our sorrow The tides are turning You want your countless wars We want to count less wars You want to point the blame At the heretics But you’re the hypocrites Its only hate you preach And when we call for peace You call it anarchy I hope your god can save you As your devil leads the way Yeah We’ve got nothing to lose So come and get it We’ve got nothing to lose Yeah I fucking said it Deprivers of the truth It’s like raking dead leaves in the wind It’s like saints living life without sins It’s like digging our graves in the sand It’s like raking dead leaves in the wind Our smoke will paint the sky Cover up the lights that guide us Celebrate decline We made our bed and I will lie to you That everything's alright You are we You are we Lucifer You are we

If there was a plan to fail, I would've found another way To start over again and reset I realised that if they told us to change Then we would only stay the same You can steal the sun but there's a light you can't replace How does it feel to have everything you'll ever need And know it's never gonna be, never gonna be enough? Oh, reforming We're all terminal Yeah, reforming Did you sell your soul to the headlines? (We'll never let you take this away from us) (There's no bribe I'd take to betray this trust) Teach our young why we can't survive? (Bow down to the hypocrites) (Or the great deceivers of our innocence) Did you bite your tongue with another lie? (The new wave of realistic minds) (What's broken can be fixed) Me and my brothers know we'll never hide We're living in a system on the brink of sacrifice, and still Why are we dying to live? A sickness we're living in From here to here We're like a flickering flame We're never once the same From here to here You can steal the sun, it wouldn't be enough If there was a plan to fail, I would've found another way To start over again and reset I realised that if they told us to change Then we would only stay the same You can steal the sun but there's a light you can't replace How does it feel to have everything you'll ever need And know it's never gonna be, never gonna be enough?

This empire of silence sways in the wind Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me Look in the mirror, tell me what you see A cause for the cancer or a remedy? Every rung beneath my feet The weight will bare on shoulders build to lean The strength inside a seed We're all alone If I learn from our deceits Let the water guide us to the sea For all our wounds to heal We're all alone We're building walls Where there should have been bridges Borders in the land that we roam We pray for war like it's a fucking religion When greed is all we know Conditioned innocent with loves intention Confused together, realize we're all the same This empire of silence sways in the wind Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me Look in the mirror, tell me what you see A cause for the cancer or a remedy? Pull out the knife that you've earned This world's a loss to an age of a self loving race With no desire to change Emergency positions please, reprieve humanity We're building walls Where there should have been bridges Borders in the land that we roam We pray for war like it's a fucking religion When greed is all we know We won't give up on the truth We won't give in to their rules We're not afraid of a world corrupted We won't give up on you

Silence; the battlefield sinks beneath my feet Settle down society Surrender all we know Said thanks but I'm okay with what I'm told I probably should have known better But I'll learn right from wrong Better I listen to myself when I'm burnt from the flames but still fuel the fire I can't promise I'll be home Can't promise I'll be home Can you hear the casualty call to the non-believers? Justify a cause where we don't deserve to live Evil minded corporate war for a lost alliegence Sacrifice all for the cost of innocence Can't you see that when the time comes And they call on us We'll show them the white flag Soaked in our blood We're damned if we do, damned if we don't Silence; the battlefield sinks beneath my feet Settle down society Sail fort hope, safest seas How shallow of me to live like my life's misery Will we be washed up with the wreckage of savior? And I'm sick of hearing no fault of mine I can't promise I'll be home, can't promise I'll be home Wake up We'll show them the white flag soaked in our blood Far right, far from right We left the wing because the violence was deafening Can you hear the casualty call to the none believers? Justify a cause where we don't deserve to live Evil minded corporate war for a lost alliegence Sacrifice all for the cost of innocence Can't you see that when the time comes And they call on us We'll show them the white flag Soaked in our blood We're damned if we do, damned if we don't Silence; the battlefield sinks beneath my feet Settle down society A scarlett letter marks us all We're damned if we do, damned if we don't

All my thoughts are useless They keep me from seeing the bright light Falling down this well now I'm reaching but it's too high Is this the end, the fall of man? Did we take nothing from the meaning of Change for the masses? We're never gonna learn If all we do is take, take, no return Blame it on the outside, close the curtains Dare me to explain why we don't deserve The land that we fill and the blood that they spill Not a selfish intention; an order to kill Kill, kill, kill ourselves with the question, destroy or rebuild? Singing S.O.S. to ourselves All my thoughts are useless They keep me from seeing the bright light Falling down this well now I'm reaching but it's too high It'll take a hurricane to clean up all the mess we made If we're gonna fly this flag of peace, we'll need you We need to dig this up from the roots And if a god's looking down, we'll give them something to lose We'll give them something to lose Assailants, second nature hypocrites Tell me that it's not as bad as it may seem Surviving this death trap by the skin of our teeth Oxygen thieves, are we just oxygen thieves?

Calling all heathens to the fire Our only hope is built from the ashes below Our leaders won't save us Your queen is dead Just my luck, it's never been enough There's only black clouds when I look up It'll take thirteen nails to hang me from this cross Trade labour cocaine, blood in the sink Wash it down and forget what you've seen Punch drunk in a world of knives Unscathed to the naked eye I'd chase the sun over the horizon If you believed the light would guide us Towards the fight but away from the sirens All I need is the air inside my lungs So hold your head up high Revolt, this is revolting, revolt, this is revolting I'll let the state of the world speak for itself Malignent rituals of apathy You have the guts to point the finger at me I don't care what they say I am your eulogy in this state of reconing I'd chase the sun over the horizon If you believed the light would guide us Towards the fight but away from the sirens All I need is the air inside my lungs You want the bad news We're still waiting for the greater good I'll let the state of the world speak for itself Don't try to convince me That you're speaking for the rank and the file While we stand and you hide We'll be heard for miles Speaking with the voice of a giant No borders or sides No evidence of a trial There's no escape from their lies It's just a crooked alliance Where the wrong lead the right If we're strong we'll survive And realize that we will never Step forward if we're standing in line We'll never step forward if we're standing in line So hold your head up high Revolt, this is revolting, revolt, this is revolting I'll let the state of the world speak for itself

In another now The words we speak Will fade away And mean nothing to me We are an avalanche of doubt Suffocating in the wake Passed the point of no return The rivers like the devil's veins will guide the way Our crysalis in chains We've outstayed our welcome under a thirstful sun Like an island lost at sea Naive to science the water eats away And all we do is preach a way To cure what we can't keep In another now The words we speak Will fade away And mean nothing to me It means something to me I climb to the top of the mountain And found another towering over me At the edge without intention or sense To find a destiny kept behind the fence That she tempts us to ascend Lock the gate, hide the keys Take the pain that we feel and call it hope Why do we destroy everything we try to love? Take the pain that we feel and call it hope We destroy everything we try to love Again and again our vice tradition When will we learn our rapture is our prison? Like an island lost at sea Naive to science the water eats away And all we do is preach a way To cure what we can't keep And mean nothing to me It means something to me It's mine but it's probably stolen Paid the price but it's probably free For a life unprescribed, an escape from the lines I can survive if I know you are we
