lyrics

The cobblestones on the side of the road and that look in your face eats me alive. In the midst of the encircled few
pretending they’re in control. But I won’t stay under their thumb. I’m unlikely to agree. Push the barricades. My
heart riots, the sweat in my palms as the fires illume the night sky ruckus wild.
Up high the cameras spy on all that will happen to us on the ground. They claim it’s save. Save like the shackles of
these desolate days that we can’t escape. Tell me what’s wrong. I don’t need your permit to see that I discord. Out
of sight ravenous sparks are sneaking up to incite. The tension’s itching on the seams right before the scene breaks
wild.
I’m ridden by gloom, pressured to oblige. Feeling cornered by frustrations so I’m blowing off steam. Consequences
are moot cause they took all of my dreams. Feel that reluctance will choke until I collapse but I don’t mind if you
dance on my grave when I’m dead. Take my chance now. Leave it all out there instead.
