Alive, As a Housefire

Identical America: The beautiful land of control
See the cages
Freedom, fiction
Hear the fascist or ask yourself

Will my anesthetized half-lies still suffice to stifle what life we hoard till we die?
We hide in the guise of benevolence until the system burns (burn, burn, burn)
A system built by subjection (burn, burn, burn)
Must change or face insurrection

They found you in your skin
They've come to take you in
So take a ride, come insidе, they have stars for making stripes
Swеrving left and stealing rights, they've only come to take your life

The only remedy
Is solidarity
And now I know the death of my pride is the cost of peace

Cold as the empire that stole away your breath (stole away your breath)
Long as the history they poured inside your chest (poured inside your chest)
Revenant, you're louder than the sound (love overcomes)
Revenant, no grave can hold you down
Follow me, my son, we're just strangers leaving Babylon

Cold as the empire that stole away your breath (stole away your breath)
Long as the history they poured inside your chest (poured inside your chest)
Revenant, you're louder than the sound (love overcomes)
Revenant, no grave can hold you down

We're only shadows till we walk into the Sun (walk into the Sun)
And they're only tyrants until love overcomes

Fuck the system
Fuck the system
Fuck the system
Fuck the system

Fuck the system
Break the prism
Fuck the system
Fuck the system
