lyrics

We’re leaving the gavels at the door
No need to strain the metaphor 
You asked us to tell you when you go too far
So here we are. Here we are. 

We loved you then. We love you now. 
Remember when we took our bows?
Brothers in arms, embracing the stage
Crowds fade away, but we still play
Your fiction can’t tangle history made

What children say still matters today.
We traded hate and planted our fate.

Sirens pull you out. Brothers pray you in.
We will never let you drown. Show us you can swim.

We’re meeting your shadows at the door
You counted 12 steps, but what about more
Unlucky 13 lands you a score
Winning the battle but losing the war

Sharing blame and wearing shame;
New sirens call, but the feeling’s the same;
You are divine when you hold your ground
Not when your shadows push you around

What children say still matters today;
We traded hate and planted our fate.

Don’t lie. I want to feel all your stories
Forgery won’t bring you glory

Don’t lie. Who made you feel so alone?
Virtue murdered young

What you’ve done it’s time to own
