gateway Lyrics

Can't take the swamp out of these meadows

Can't shake the rust off the covenant

Where will you be when all this settles?

Why do you run, you know you love it

There are no stray cats in the suburbs

The road to the coast holds no remorse

These soulless husks believe it's their turn

While we silently stay our course

Perfection is all you can offer

But me, I'm happy with dirty hands

You stole my love to fill your coffers

Did you forget just who I am?

I heard some industries are going under

And the price of rent is much too high

While it's true they tore us asunder

Does it mean we shouldn't try?

And now I'm staring at the gateway

With some more gateway in my palm

No, I won't sit around thinking of the glory days

It's time to stand and be strong

Be strong

Redemption is all I can offer

It's getting late, I think we should start

Me, I could not look at another

Well, won't forget just who we are

Who we are

I won't forget
