Make It Stop (September's Children)



Rise Against



Bang bang go the coffin nails

like a breath, exhaled then gone forever

it seems like just yesterday

how did i miss the red flags raise?

think back to the days we left

we brave these bitter storms together

brought to his knees he cried

but on his feet he died



what god would deal a heart?

and what god drove us apart?

what god could...



make it stop

let this end

18 years pushed to the ledge

it's come to this

a weightless step

on the way down, singing

whoah, oh...



bang bang from the closet walls

the schoolhouse halls

the shotgun's loaded

push me and i'll push back

i'm done asking, i demand

from the nation under god

i feel its love like a cattleprod

i'm born free, but still they hate

i'm born me, no, i can't change



it's always darkest just before the dawn

so stay awake with me

let's prove them wrong



make it stop

let this end

18 years pushed to the ledge

it's come to this

a weightless step

on the way down, singing

whoah, oh...



the cold river, wash him away

but how could we forget

the cavalries of candles

but not their tongues

and too much blood has fallen from the wrist

of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss?

who will rise to stop the blood?

we're calling for, insisting on

a different beat, yeah, a brand new song

make it stop

let this end

this life chose me

i'm not lost in sin

i'm proud

i stand

of who i am

i plan of going on living



make it stop

let this end

all these years pushed to the ledge

i'm proud i stand

of who i am

i plan to go on living
