This is not out of your control Lyrics

So what do you mean you're waiting? Thinking, deciding

So what do you mean it's troubling? You said nothing, did nothing

Is it really easier to see us as others?

When we're playing the same guitars

We could be playing together

You're not still out of your own will

Your silence kills, your silence kills

Where's your fight for all the lives they stole

Answer our call, answer our call

This is not out of your control

Don't you see they can't hold us all

No change is too small, don't quit before your first fall

Answer our call, answer our call

Did you train to be numb to the sight of friends under bombs?

Calling names all night long, hoping someone will respond

Is it really scarier to trust us over those in power?

Better to deny, comply so you don't have to ask why

The cage in which you choose to lie

Is built on lies not even you can buy

When we die, you die

At least birds see their cage and try to break it and fly

To break it and fly, to break it and fly

This is not out of your control

Where is your soul? Where is your soul?

Can you see all that they stole?

Lives, land, homes, your heart whole

On my knees I will still crawl

Proud to be among those who stand tall against all

Even if it feels like you are too small

Armed with a spoon you can still dig a hole

The bird sees its cage, do you see yours as you age?

Where is your rage, your fight for change?

How long 'til you engage?

Your apathy's terrifying, Why aren't you screaming?

None of this is normal, not one thing

What are you doing?

This is not out of your control

Don't you see they can't hold us all

No change is too small, don't quit before your first fall

Answer our call, answer our call
