lyrics

We clear our throats to swallow a bitter pill
You act like children when faced with your guilt

Are we going too far? Should we call it off?

A hopelessness begins to fill our words and everyone agrees that it's only getting worse

The streets are extended gutters, a violation of man
We see prayers go up unanswered and pushed down again
Grayed streets cry out for color, washed out in red and blue
A chronic, systemic cycle of neglect and abuse

A hopelessness still fills our words and everyone agrees that it's still getting worse

The calls for nonviolence were answered with violence again
And those we mistook for angels were perversions of men
"The future has no future" is the wisdom of the age
And as long as the system grants power, then nothing will change

From ashes we pick up the pieces to build a little truth
You can't kill a movement. We'll rise up and build ourselves as proof
