lyrics

don't look away
you have to believe we are fit for display
the lies must be broken,
the truth has come to stay.
a place full of nameless faces
is only good as its' name.
nearly 20 years in,
and nearly nothing's changed.

i refuse to stay on a sinking ship
in the middle of the god damn ocean
(that's just not the way i float)
can't blame it all on a surplus of water
that every time we try to breathe we choke

so keep your head above the surface
it's easier to drown than you'd think
keep your head above the surface
before you know it you are sinking.

don't walk away,
you have to believe we are fit for display,
the lies must be broken,
the truth has come to stay.
a gun full of bullets is only good as it's aim...
nearly 80 murdered last year,
and nearly nothing's changed.

i refuse to stay on a sinking ship
in the middle of the god damn ocean
(that's just not the way i float)
can't blame it all on a surplus of water
that every time we try to breathe we choke

so keep your head above the surface
it's easier to drown than you'd think
keep your head above the surface
before you know it you are sinking.

so keep your head above the surface,
and tread until the sharks let us rest,
year by year we sink down slower in our funeral plots,
and some day we might just be forgotten.
i pray that we become a garden
before it's too late for us to grow.
