All I feel are parasites

And all I see are blinding lights

They've been brought here to shield your eyes

I might be hurt but I can fight, I can fight

I can fight



Terrified but I don't shake

My mind is ready I won't wait

These hands hold a story

Of hardship and heartbreak



We've been buried alive

Thrown out and left here to die

The doors of change have been

Locked from either side

Now the waters where I learned to swim

Will be the same that I drown my shame in



The vultures circle us

Showing us what's to come

Oh they hail the sun

And cast their shadows on everyone

Where were you the day we took it back?

Where were you when love was all we had?

I won't sit back and relax

Not while we're still fighting back

Where were you when love was all we had?



Time doesn't go back, doesn't go back

To the time that we thought that we had

I stare at the ground in my sleep

These things keep on following me

I tear apart all of the thread

That gave me a place to put down my head

Hide my fucking face

How many possibilities exist inside your world?

When you gonna wrap your head around?

What we've endured? What we've endured?



We've been buried alive

Thrown out and left here to die

The doors of change have been

Locked from either side

Now the waters where I learned to swim

Will be the same that I drown my shame in



The vultures circle us

Showing us what's to come

Oh they hail the sun

And cast their shadows on everyone

Where were you the day we took it back?

Where were you when love was all we had?

I won't sit back and relax

Not while we're still fighting back

Where were you when love was all we had?



They've failed their words but we won't fall again

They've failed us all, this is the end



Yeah



The vultures circle us

Showing us what's to come

Oh they hail the sun

And cast their shadows on everyone

I won't sit back and relax

Not while we're still fighting back

Not after everything that we've been through

I said I'd give this my all

I said I'd give it my heart

Now they've taken everything from me



Now they've taken everything from me

I won't sit back and relax

Not while we're still fighting back

Where were you when love was all we had?

(When love was all we had)

I won't sit back and relax

Not while we're still fighting back

Where were you when love was all we had?

(When love was all we had)

I won't sit back and relax

Not while we're still fighting back

Where were you the day we took it back?



This is the end

They use our fear as a selling point

They have us cornered

We fall apart

Unravel, unwind

Distract, divide
