Use Your Eyes
So clip our wings
Steal our youth
You never had a reason to enshrine our guilt
You pull the strings
That matter most
It begs the question, upon reflection
Can you stand by what you've built
We won't accept what we're given
So tell me mother are you afraid
And as our standards are sliding
We'll keep on deciding
To call theft an even trade
You'll never learn
You'll never learn
We'll never leave
We'll never leave
Can't keep us
Chained and bound on barren ground
How did you replace the crown?
You're finished, you best believe
Use your eyes, it's happening
I despise their greed
Underground we suffocate
Buried beneath the gray
Use your eyes, it's happening
Can't disguise their creed
More than I can tolerate
What would your father say?
Hearing the howls from your bedroom
You'll never fall from a climb this steep
While you deny what you've written
You're preaching to children
So why won't you let them sleep
Diving as deep an ocean
So tell me mother are you afraid
You can't destroy what you're hiding
No use in denying
The helpless that you've betrayed
You'll never learn
You'll never learn
We'll never leave
We'll never leave
Can't keep us
Chained and bound on barren ground
How did you replace the crown?
You're finished, you best believe
Use your eyes, it's happening
I despise their greed
Underground we suffocate
Buried beneath the gray
Use your eyes, it's happening
Can't disguise their creed
More than I can tolerate
What would your father say?
Say you'll forsake our rights
What keeps you up at night
Don't drag us under
Fuck your redundancy
For every self-made sin
Look at the mess we're in
While they walk free
You'll never learn
You'll never learn
We'll never leave
We'll never leave
Can't keep us
Chained and bound on barren ground
How did you replace the crown?
You're finished, you best believe
What would your father say?
Steal our youth
You never had a reason to enshrine our guilt
You pull the strings
That matter most
It begs the question, upon reflection
Can you stand by what you've built
We won't accept what we're given
So tell me mother are you afraid
And as our standards are sliding
We'll keep on deciding
To call theft an even trade
You'll never learn
You'll never learn
We'll never leave
We'll never leave
Can't keep us
Chained and bound on barren ground
How did you replace the crown?
You're finished, you best believe
Use your eyes, it's happening
I despise their greed
Underground we suffocate
Buried beneath the gray
Use your eyes, it's happening
Can't disguise their creed
More than I can tolerate
What would your father say?
Hearing the howls from your bedroom
You'll never fall from a climb this steep
While you deny what you've written

So why won't you let them sleep

So tell me mother are you afraid
You can't destroy what you're hiding
No use in denying
The helpless that you've betrayed
You'll never learn
You'll never learn
We'll never leave
We'll never leave
Can't keep us
Chained and bound on barren ground
How did you replace the crown?
You're finished, you best believe
Use your eyes, it's happening

Underground we suffocate
Buried beneath the gray
Use your eyes, it's happening
Can't disguise their creed

While they walk free
You'll never learn
You'll never learn
We'll never leave
We'll never leave
Can't keep us
Chained and bound on barren ground
How did you replace the crown?
You're finished, you best believe
What would your father say?
