VERSE 1
I’m open, our backs move head to head and body to line
I severed my tongue, I bit my teeth right through it
And bludgeoned my face with the mic
And it’s the silence inside us, the silence divides us
The hands still hold the shake
Poison the youth with the words I’m speaking
What a horrible mistake, and so it goes

VERSE 2
So we purge our bodies on rocks and stones
Head for the hills, curse their homes
All my life I wanted something to say
Oh, well the fire is taking the stage
God bless the ones who were just like us, forgot to think

PRE-CHORUS
And this gas will cleanse your hands
Burn the palms and smoke the lung
It’s hopeless, they’re rolling in the flames

CHORUS
Stop this from sinking
We’re left, we’re the white noise, listen
Open arms
Open hearts
Open lungs tonight

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS

Stop this from sinking

VERSE 1
It’s hard to maintain silence while the walls are burning
I’ve been drinking to keep down the heaves
We’re the liars, the fakes and the thieves

So we dance by flailing our arms to the rhythm
Of who ever’s pouring the drinks
Arms bend, break back and the veins are starting to leak

VERSE 2
Yeah we smash our heals and we rid our soles
As the hands are clearing the air
And the records are skipping, the lines are repeating, you can feel them starting to tear

Arms bend, Arms bend
Arms bend back now
And these feet are letting us down

CHORUS
So I said, “Roll back the sleeves”
“Be a fake, be a cynic and just believe”

Our engine’s in the Delaware
Rivers drift here slowly to sea

Noise is noise until someone believes

BRIDGE
Our engine, our engine, our engine’s floating out to sea
Our engine, our engine, our engine’s floating out to sea

REPEAT CHORUS

Arms bend back, arms bend back
And I should leave
Arms bend back, arms bend back
And I should leave

VERSE 1
Arms, legs, check liars and the panicked
With a cut to bone we left this home depleted and sick
We’re the death we admit it
Check the closet, check the mattress
Give us Barrabas or we’re coming in

PRE-CHORUS
All systems starting to slow
Get dressed, get ready to go

CHORUS
We’ll bury, bury fifteen bodies today
In the back seat of a car and watch them drive it away
We’ll bury, bury fifteen bodies today
In the back seat of a car and watch them drive it away

VERSE 2
Turn the radio on, keep the kids safe at home
Turn the radio on
Let’s dance, they’re drowning like stones
Turn the radio on, keep the kids safe at home
Turn the radio on
Let’s dance

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1
Well I tried a thousand times to forget your eyes tonight
But the seconds only whisper in my ears these days
Only thing that forces me to
Move on and on and on and on and on
Is remembering to forget everything

VERSE 2
Go to talk but all I see is your lips moving up and down
And making patterns that every other night
I’d actually be able to stand
Only thing that forces me to
Move on and on and on and on and on
Is remembering to forget everything

CHORUS
It’s so wrong and I know for the first time in my life
We’ll bleed together
It’s so wrong and I know for the first time in my life
We’ll bleed together

BRIDGE
This is:
The Frequency

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1
If we call this resolution now
We’re gonna burn our fingertips
And bite our lips
When what we’ve shed is what we’ve become
In spite of everything the locals have
Fled in disgust

PRE-CHORUS
Can’t get any sleep over anything
While arms are raising, arms are raising

CHORUS
We built this house, fading out
And running out and phasing out
We built this house
We’re phasing out
Oh we built this house, fading out
And running out and phasing out
We built this house
We’re phasing out

BRIDGE
Keep right on the paths we’re following
Keep handles that, handles that rip

Connected internally
When you’re on fire there’s no room to breathe
Somebody buy this girl a drink
Oh Frankie do it do it

When you…

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1
Cut this electric right now
Let’s stare at each other
And not make a sound
Cuz it’s fading while it’s falling out
Trying to bind a wrist to a pin
And twitch for self-destruction now

VERSE 2
Built by word of mouth for miles
Subjugated smiles
Will keep our hopes alive
And I’d die right now
If I had the fucking guts but I have no fucking guts
I’d die right know if I ever had the guts

PRE-CHORUS
There’s no difference between reservoirs and lakes
When hands are tied
We’ll drown, we’ll sink
And the drastic always hint at just too late
We’ll drown, we’ll sink

CHORUS
We’re suffocating, oh still singing
Four men dead when six kids came to see them
Walk away still, hands are bleeding
Four men dead when six kids came to see them

OUTRO
It’s the silencing
Blackbelts for everyone

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
