Lyrics

Step back from that cliff

And inch towards a blade

Or shut your eyes

Take a risk

And have a little faith

No good choices

Pick your poison

Painful truth or awkward lie

Bloody screams

Inside voices

Both are pointless

They can't hear you cry

Tell me there's an obstacle

Don't say that its impossible

To accomplish the improbable

Love is always optional

Evolution is unstoppable

And flourishes in the adverse

To soar you must fall first

And sometimes that hurts

What's the worst that can happen

If we flirt with disaster

Natural instinct

Primal passion

Flock together

Pain and laughter

Can't we move little faster

Skip the setup and the chatter

Let's descend into madness

Chance some skin then heal up after

Bad actors, cash grabbers, and mad hatters

Sad bastards, bag snatchers, and back stabbers

Flags tatter, glass shatters, then rats scatter

Now look who's stuck sweeping up

Preaching that facts matter


Tried to cry for help

But couldn't get the words out

Fighting for a breath

Somebody tell them that it hurts now

We saw them put their hands up

Before we heard the gunshots

They knew it was the wrong house

But no one knocked

Tried to beg for help

But couldn't push the words out

Can you police the cops

Will you tell them that it hurts now

They ran for their lives

And then we heard the gunshots

More names for the headlines

But no one's shocked


Rumors bouncing down alleys

Lies rolling in the wind

We got some game to spit

A few rules to bend

They have stories to embellish

False narratives to spin

When it blows up in our faces


We'll just do it all again

They can't stand consequence

But love stirring trouble

Misplay their cards

Then blame the fucking shuffle

Spend up every last penny

And still claim its just a hustle

While we choke back the tears

And act like the pain is subtle

There's a devil in the detail

We got really good at finding

Some people push buttons

We broke it down to a science

That patented concoction

Of codependence and defiance

The brightest stars

Are the ones that are dying

Now there's a metaphor there

I'm just too high to find it

Its not that I don't care

Sometimes I miss the silence

The pretty lights look better from afar

Pull the frame in tight

And stay right where you are


Tried to cry for help

But couldn't get the words out

Fighting for a breath

Somebody tell them that it hurts now

We saw them put their hands up

Before we heard the gunshots

They knew it was the wrong house

But no one knocked

Tried to beg for help

But couldn't push the words out

Can you police the cops

Will you tell them that it hurts now

They ran for their lives

And then we heard the gunshots

More names for the headlines

But no one's shocked


I'm not the type of person

That will turn the other cheek

I'm the one that wants to get the job done

By any means

I'm better at throwing shit

Someone else can give a speech

Its an ethos

Not a motto

No justice

No peace

Defund the police

Destigmatize the poor

How can you declare a riot

When you've incited a war

If you didn't want violence

The fuck you fighting us for

Could this be a spring shower

Or the eye of the storm

We don't really have a preference

Only asking for leverage

Trying to gain a point of reference

Off which to base your deceptions

We won't solve the world's problems

We can ask the right questions

We won't shut our fucking mouths

So you know we'll spread a message

Unprecedented times

Call for unconventional methods

Brought some soup for that ass

Y'all looking hungry I reckon

Yeah, we can't tame a beast

But we can kill it with no weapons

Out here fighting for a future

By handing out history lessons


Tried to cry for help

But couldn't get the words out

Fighting for a breath

Somebody tell them that it hurts now

We saw them put their hands up

Before we heard the gunshots

They knew it was the wrong house

But no one knocked

Tried to beg for help

But couldn't push the words out

Can you police the cops

Will you tell them that it hurts now

They ran for their lives

And then we heard the gunshots

More names for the headlines

But no one's shocked
