lyrics

You cannot sit in silence if you stand for change
There's nothing stopping us from making waves
Waves in the stasis changing who we are
But we were never to know what could have been

And when we break these chains they'll become our whips
No longer will we be stuck throwing bricks
Forced to embrace the flames by marketing scum
Reminding me of a nation's stains
Reminding me

Endless
Calls for an end to the endless bloodshed
Screaming into an ear but the nerves are dead
We can run all of this without them
But without us they'd be condemned

It's us versus them

While they drink up hate like it's fucking water
Will we bide our time and just watch the slaughter?
I guess we've found our way learning to love the disarray

Engendered with such misery it is clear to me
That you're your racist ancestors' deadbeat progeny

The humane face of the human race will disintegrate

It's looking bleak at best
Will we ever rest
Or will we kill it at the root?
Kill it at its toxic root
