Lyrics

Back when you had something to fight for
And the world was a thorn in your side
Your words didn't come from no cue card
The truth was something more than the next convenient lie

And everybody laughed at you baby
Though you swore you would turn it around
As you tore out your soul before a sea of empty chairs
Did you dive into this just to drown?

You've said it makes no difference to you twenty times or more
Head on the corporate chopping block, death rapping at your door
When they threw you in the oven babe you knew it had begun
How quickly your ideas go from half-baked to overdone

I can see a different world
Where the kiss of life is an execution
It breaks my heart
How I'd like to storm your revolution

They'll be calling the kill consequential
Kicking all the coins out of your cup
Will your poverty and grace take you to a safer place
Or just a marketplace for martyrs in the rough?

Like a doe you froze up in luck's headlights
Like a snake you slid under the hood
Now the engine keeps you warm as it robs you of all form
Are you so surprised to be misunderstood?

Where the shell shock of the centuries just begs you to explode
As you become what you despise just do as you are told
In a dungeon full of visionaries choking on your dust
Your siren song a soundtrack as the sweat begins to rust

I can see a different world
Where the kiss of life is an execution
It breaks my heart
How I'd like to storm your revolution

I can taste the blood in my dreams
Where a shotgun blast is the sole solution
It breaks my heart
How I'd like to storm your revolution
