[00:12.09]button up
[00:12.95]reattach flesh
[00:14.05]in between the lines
[00:16.25]outside of the law
[00:18.01]underneath the veil
[00:19.76]we dig our foundations
[00:21.28]we navigate the globe
[00:22.81]trying to find a pattern to break the mold
[00:25.07]with a family to feed
[00:26.36]theres nowhere we wont go
[00:27.12]but what if were caught
[00:28.56]they say I'm a snitch

[00:46.96]when I wanna shut out this world
[00:48.35]wanna rip up this page
[00:50.11]wanna pour out this heart
[00:51.87]wanna get up on this stage
[00:53.46]and my lips become percussion
[00:55.19]and my fists become the rage
[00:56.85]and I pound on this table
[00:58.43]til it gives me something to say
[01:00.01]then I think about things that Ive seen
[01:01.59]right in front of me
[01:02.70]that I don't wanna believe
[01:03.72]gimme one of these mikes
[01:04.83]lemme let em know
[01:05.88]the way that it is is not how its gonna be
[01:08.41]not if we don't let em get ahead of us
[01:10.53]the present tensions no threat
[01:12.15]its just a fence across the path
[01:13.65]that were already ready to walk
[01:15.45]rock solid footsteps
[01:16.79]let em put up obstacles
[01:17.95]and prove that it isn't possible
[01:19.83]f**k that
[01:20.77]we don't give em any weight
[01:22.11]true liberty and freedoms at stake
[01:23.37]peace will never become pass
[01:24.82]live my life until my last day
[01:26.46]it was half-past eight in the bat cave
[01:29.24]when the cracks in the plaster collapsed
[01:31.15]and gave way to gaps in the pavement
[01:32.90]mayday mayday
[01:34.00]put it on blast
[01:35.10]for the passengers and messengers
[01:36.60]cause this is a disaster
[01:38.05]where the f**k are the rescue workers
[01:39.85]not far
[01:41.30]off pissing on a cop car
[01:42.69]in the hall with a pop tart
[01:44.51]sipping liquor in the rock bar
[01:46.06]everyone climb to the front line
[01:48.86]lunchtimes canceled
[01:49.80]all hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill
[01:52.68]onlookers passers-by shake off that rubble
[01:55.29]brush off your shoulders
[01:57.58]break free from your standstill
[01:59.50]signs of a better world
[02:02.25]causes we understand
[02:03.97]failures we expected to occur
[02:05.61]and bring redemption for our sins
[02:07.84]safety from the crowds
[02:09.77]in the shadows on the run
[02:11.66]we write our own cider house
[02:13.39]rules to keep alive
[02:15.14]rituals that prove their worth
[02:17.07]search for systems we can trust
[02:18.37]rhythms we can lock into
[02:24.68]this is madness salvage teams can't bandage
[02:26.95]hope when its damaged or broken compassion
[02:28.46]not enough rope in the  when world is collapsing
[02:28.80]our mode of action broadcast through the glass
[02:30.10]its all we can manage donate with the plastic
[02:33.78]scraps from the salad
[02:35.27]hoping to balance emotions invalidated
[02:36.97]and staged on 4:3 aspects
[02:38.45]just ballast for sadness
[02:39.85]lives shattered are standard fare for cameras and channels
[02:43.34]stare no abracadabras
[02:44.96]no faster answers or mantras for disasters
[02:46.71]remastered and plastered got it all backwards
[02:48.93]do you know the faction your backing
[02:51.23]its another man down
[02:52.98]another mother gone
[02:53.83]child drowned
[02:54.57]another silenced song
[02:55.30]solitude
[02:56.17]another kind of strong
[02:56.99]I miss you
[02:57.70]another strung along
[02:58.46]missing in action
[02:59.57]another page is blackened burned
[03:01.19]turned to ashes to ashes
[03:03.00]dust off the flags and the caskets
[03:04.81]we will never find another you
[03:06.50]despite the life of love we knew
[03:08.10]these lightning times are trouble who
[03:09.73]cant count the strikes that punished through
[03:11.40]the bonds we thought would never break
[03:13.11]and never will and never fade and never change
[03:14.83]but there is the rage
[03:16.33]of losing you to their mistakes
[03:17.91]in between the lines
[03:19.24]signs of a the next movement
[03:20.34]refuge from the crowd
[03:21.38]outside of the law
[03:22.29]causes we understand
[03:23.03]hands that trace
[03:23.69]instructions for descendants in the
[03:24.91]shadows on the run
[03:26.32]underneath the veil
[03:27.10]failures we expected to
[03:28.22]occur and bring redemption for our sins
[03:30.28]in between the lines
[03:32.16]
