Red Lines, White Lies ft. Jeremy Jordan Lyrics

Hello, this is your friendly pirate captain speaking

And now that we've reached a comfortable cruising altitude

We'd like to announce the time has come

You'll notice the world below has gone to hell

And so among you, we are seeking some new additions to our crew

Specifically deviants and scum

For those who may be disinclined, please see the exit on the right

Either way, we hope you'll find this quite a memorable flight

This is a story of a man laid flat upon the street

Whose dying heart would start a soul resuscitating beat

So, we started marching on to celebrate his life

Some raised their pistols as we rolled by

We grow in number every day

Things may get loud

They made a war of our parade

Still, we raise our voices proud

Face down, he laid

Sing out his name

Come, fight

The love inside us

Dies in silence

Red lines

Streaking up the pavement

See the road beyond

White lies

Creeping up their faces

We keep rolling on

We rise

Even when the pain is all we know

This is a story of a flag so faded, long in flight

Upon which after years of silence, blue and red have bled to white

So, to those in power and your sycophantic thrall

You've raised your tower, but castles fall

They think we shout because they made us

No! We revel in our noise

We are the devil they're afraid of

For we fight this war with joy

Lay down your guns

Sing out in unison

Come, fight

The love inside us

Dies in silence

Red lines

Streaking up the pavement

See the road beyond

White lies

Creeping up their faces

We keep rolling on

We rise

Even when the pain is all we know

Well friends, we stand against an army

And alarmingly they've made their minds up

But we can't survive that way

We tried that way before, we wised up

And no amount of shouting in the streets or at our screens

Is ever gonna make them rise up with us

And see the forest for the trees that burn

And further light the fire in our eyes up

Red lines

Streaking up the pavement

See the road beyond

White lies

Creeping up their faces

We keep rolling on

We rise

Even when the pain is all we know
