Lyrics:
Say to me
The words that cannot be
Pray with me
Full of uncertainty

Shut our brainwashed minds
It’s all we seem to do when we’re being fed lies
We place our hands in shackles and binds
Break down all the trust and we’ll be saying goodbye
Someone would ask you where there’s truth
Spreading like a plague through society’s youth
The minefield of lies we’ve been wading through
Deeper and deeper what have we got into

I don’t know what they’re saying
I don’t know who’s obeying

Say to me
The words that cannot be
Pray with me
Full of uncertainty

They try to bleach our minds
And set us far behind
Make us feel hopeless
Their view is out of focus
Each day slips by unchanged
They’ll call us all deranged
It’s never gonna end
It’s too much for them to mend

They keep throwing round these phrases
Hard navigate like they’re mazes
It’s what we’re made to follow
The definition’s hollow
Try to read between the lines
As our everyday declines
We’ve got to make a stand
Just hanging by a strand

We’re all fighting with rage
In society’s locked down cage
Rally the people
We deserve some fucking change
We’ll fight while we’re alive
In numbers we will thrive
Rally the people
We deserve some fucking change

We’re all fighting with rage
In society’s locked down cage
Rally the people
We deserve some fucking change
We’ll fight while we’re alive
In numbers we will thrive
Rally the people
We deserve some fucking change

I don’t know what they’re saying
I don’t know who’s obeying

I fall apart from the start
Watch my friends depart
I was wrong to think our leaders were all good at heart
See their greed to mislead
While their people plead
All my vision’s blurred
They won’t make me slide

Say goodbyes and you’ll rise
From a thousand lies
I will deny all their tries to see it through their eyes
I won’t slide
