Idea Lyrics

Uh

Lemme throw it back, to the tenth grade

Never had a clue, life was going which way

Every single choice felt a little pre-made

So narrow and so dull, all the paths that we could take

So worried about what other people would say

Dreams ran wild, all they did was dissuade

The world was a fantasy, but it did fade

Boxed in, locked up, caged in, don't stray

One more, you're just another number, yeah

So dumb, you're nothing but a bummer, yeah

So cold, waiting for the summer, yeah

To the bone, been forever in a slumber, yeah

Vision blurred, so follow all the others, uh

Like leaves, but they only want one color

Fuck that, don't care, talk's cheaper than the air

If it ain't greener over here, then it's greener over there

When we're born, everyone expects us

To fit the mold like a Barbie playing dress-up

When a leg breaks another one steps up

Marching to the beat of the snare that directs us

One foot outta line, so eager to correct us

Betrayed by the ones who claim to protect us

Tear apart the thread of the fabric that connects us

But we refuse to crack and to be crushed under the pressure

So come around

And tear it down

We'll burn it, we'll burn it

Right to the ground

And from the ash

In every town

Rebuild it, rebuild it

And hear our sound

Now we're going back to where it all started

Walking to the place where the other road parted

Wading through the water of the creek and the garden

Shocking that they throw us to the banks like we're garbage

People try and drown you in the dreams they discarded

We just took our thoughts and we wrote them on a parchment

Plant the seeds of doubt and be the snakes that'll guard em

Let the fruits be Eden as we rise against the Spartans

Rise up, get up now

Don't say you don't know how

Wipe away the tears outta your eyes

Blow away the smoke and clear it out

Rise up, let it out

Speak freely from your mouth

They can't crush down your soul

Find your voice and scream and shout out loud

So come around

And tear it down

We'll burn it, we'll burn it

Right to the ground

And from the ash

In every town

Rebuild it, rebuild it

And hear our sound

We turn around

We face the past

We may see the dark

But we're never going back

We turn around

We turn around

We turn around

We turn around

We turn around

We face the past

We may see the dark

But we're never going back

We turn around

We turn around

We turn around

We turn around

So paint me as the villain, or paint me as a thug

I don't give a damn, this the struggle of an artist

Forged in the flaming fucking fiery pits of hell

But the spear that doesn't break survives through the harshest

And they wanted us to take it quiet lying down, but

We will fight back, yeah, we will go farthest

Everyone out there come together as one

And think about the might that we could all harness

And listen up, we know it's a luxury

To go for broke and to power through the drudgery

Their appetite has no bounds to their gluttony

But I won't bow to the powers standing in front of me

Cut my words up, you can try and butcher me

But you won't silence me, turn me into history

Everybody far and everybody near

Put your hands up now, let 'em all see us

They can't stop us all, so yeah they better fear us

If we weren't loud enough, now they gonna hear us

Everybody far and everybody near

Put your hands up now, let 'em all see us

They can't stop us all, so yeah they better fear us

We can start a revolution from an idea

One foot outta line, so eager to correct us

Betrayed by the ones who claim to protect us

Tear apart the thread of the fabric that connects us

But we refuse to crack and to be crushed under the pressure

Now we're going back to where it all started

Walking to the place where the other road parted

Wading through the water of the creek and the garden

Shocking that they throw us to the banks like we're garbage

People try and drown you in the dreams they discarded

We just took our thoughts and we wrote them on a parchment

Plant the seeds of doubt and be the snakes that'll guard em

Let the fruits be Eden as we rise against the Spartans
