lyrics

We all have met the man in the darkness
Heard the words that he has spoke
He talked of the hungry
He told of the tired and broke
Beggars die on sidewalks with pennies in their pockets
You'll pay no attention when you find yourself on the top

We're falling through the cracks
I once hear a wise man say,
"Beware the boys with the crooked bite who said we're not falling"
I can tell by the dirt on your knees
that you sold you soul to the devil himself
I'll never be like you

Your crooked tongue has me feelings useless
Like I am just a pawn inside your scheme
And I am held by strings
Your fingers dance to control my every move
I fucking hate you
We will no longer sit back and watch
It's time for us to be heard

We will pawn their shiny badges and bullets while we are here
To ease and comfort the pain in their stomachs, while we are here

And our footsteps were washed away by the rising tide
