Born in the flood, bloody finger-paint Black fresh water canons, forget me not Epitaph, airbrush with White T's, wife beaters, up, reattach flesh
In between the lines, of the law the veil we dig our foundations We navigate the globe trying to a pattern to break the mold With a family to feed theres nowhere we go
But what if caught? said Im a snitch Shot at the check Found with his throat
Theres paint on the teleprompter (But what if caught?) screams that hes seen a monster (They Im a snitch) Mayday, theres bloodstains on his (Shot at the point) Mayday, they say that hes gone
Sometimes, when I wanna shut out world Wanna rip up page pour out this heart Wanna get up on stage
And my become percussion And my fists become the And I pound on table Till it me something to say
Then I about things That Ive seen right in of me That I wanna believe one of these mikes
Let me let em the way that it is Is not how its be Not if we let em get ahead of us The tensions, no threat
Its just a fence across the That already ready to walk solid footsteps, let em put up obstacles And prove that it possible, fuck that
We dont em any weight True liberty and freedoms at Peace will never become Live my life until my day

We our own Cider House Rules To keep alive rituals that their worth for systems we can trust Rhythms we can into
This is madness, salvage teams bandage Hope, when its damaged or broken Not enough in the van When world is collapsing, our of action
through the glass, all we can manage Donate with the plastic scraps from the Hoping to balance, emotions And on 4:3 aspects
Just ballast for sadness, lives Are fare for cameras and channels stare No abracadabras, no faster or mantras for disasters or plastered, we got it all backwards Do you know the you're backing?
Its man down, another mother gone Child drowned, another silenced Solitude, kind of strong I miss you, another along
in action Another page is burned Turned, ashes to Dust off the and the caskets
We'll find another you the life of love we knew These lightning times are Who count the strikes that punished through?
The bonds we thought would never And never will and never change and never But the rage Of losing you to their
In the lines (Signs of a the movement) Refuge the crowd (Outside of the law) Causes we
that trace instructions For descendants in the on the run (Underneath the veil) we expected to occur And redemption for our sins (In the lines) In the lines
In the lines, outside of the law the veil In between the lines, of the law the veil
