Ignition

Say what you need
And not much more
Time's falling off the walls now
And breaking down the door
Takes time to find the worst in you
Make sense of all that you're running to
For now we'll regress and join in the race
The words that light fires begin to invite you
It's too late to turn back now
Oh with your foot in the door

They're lighting fires on us
Closing their eyes while the truth becomes lost
Say what you need and
The war will proceed
Until then, we can
Chalk it up to bureaucracy conceived on hypocrisy
Heartbeats can't compete with
Their claims of freedom
Oh how it needs them
This time, we're not asking them

Oh wait, when did my hands get on the table
Oh no, are they able to stand up for me
When my voice is gone and the deep silence hums
We sit between the lines
Fighting between sacred and sin
Holding our breath until the ashes begin

They're lighting fires on us
Closing their eyes while the truth becomes lost
Say what you need and
The war will proceed
Until then, we can
Chalk it up to bureaucracy conceived on hypocrisy
Heartbeats can't compete with
Their claims of freedom
Oh how it needs them
This time, we're not asking them

Cuz now it's our time
Oh we're gonna stand up and fight
Oh what do you stand for
Cuz it's our time
Oh we're gonna stand up and fight
Oh kid, you're not going down, not this time around
So don't you go let them bury you under the ground

Oh what do you stand for
What do you stand for
Oh what do you stand for
What do we stand for
What will you stand for

Our heartbeats, no they can't compete
Our heartbeats, no they can't compete
Our heartbeats, no they can't compete
Our heartbeats, no they can't

We're not asking them
Oh no, we're saving ourselves from their dirty hands
We're not asking them
Oh no, we're saving ourselves from their dirty hands
We're not asking them
Oh no, we're saving ourselves from their dirty hands
We're not asking them
Oh no, we're saving ourselves
