lyrics

Listen to every word you speak
I think its about time
You practiced what you preach.

Lines are always being drawn and crossed by you
Words mean nothing when they are spoken
Through lips with no integrity.

And now that I see, That I'll never be a part of this world
Its easier to let go.
You can ask what your purpose is
Or you can do what makes you feel alive

We can fight for what our world wants
Or we can do whats right.
You can let them be our voices
Or you can continue to scream

Over and over again
You have laid waste to our every dream
Swearing us one thing
As you sneak in our back door
To steal another.

We are not your property
You call this opportunity?
We will break the chains and we will storm your gates.
You keep your filthy hands off of me.

Why have we always been told, haven't you always been told? That when we grow old they will release their hold, on what makes you happy.
I think i made a mistake. I must have made a mistake. Cause where i come from these songs are rarely sung, and i think its time you hear me
Somethings got to be done, something has got to be done. We will never run unless its towards the sun, you were always blocking.
I wont be asking again. I'll never ask you again, we will band together, raise our fists
And we'll tear their house down.

We are judged by empires
As we sit silent in broken homes
No longer will i keep my mouth shut
No longer will i keep my eyes closed

You are what we must defend against.
Silent generations wont exist.
