MAYDAY!!!!  Born in the flood  Bloody fingerpaint sets  Blackmarketed fresh  Water canons forget me not  Epitaph airbrush with death  White t's  Wife beaters  Button up  Reattach flesh    In between the lines  Outside of the law  Underneath the veil  We dig our foundations  We navigate the globe  Trying to find a pattern to break the mold  With a family to feed  Theres nowhere we wont go  But what if were caught  They say Im a snitch  Shot at the check point  Found with his throat slit  Theres spray paint on the teleprompter  Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster  Mayday  Theres bloodstains on his shirt  Mayday  They say that hes gone berserk    Sometimes  When I wanna shut out this world  Wanna rip up this page  Wanna pour out this heart  Wanna get up on this stage  And my lips become percussion  And my fists become the rage  And I pound on this table  Til it gives me something to say  Then I think about things that Ive seen  Right in front of me  That I dont wanna believe  Gimme one of these mikes  Lemme letem know  The way that it is is not how its gonna be  Not if we dont letem get ahead of us  The present tensions no threat  Its just a fence across the path  That were already ready to walk  Rock solid footsteps  Letem put up obstacles  And prove that it isnt possible  Fuck that  We dont giveem any weight  True liberty and freedoms at stake  Peace will never become pass  Live my life until my last day    It was half-past eight in the bat cave  When the cracks in the plaster collapsed  And gave way to gaps in the pavement  Mayday mayday  Put it on blast  For the passengers and messengers  Cause this is a disaster  Where the fuck are the rescue workers  Not far  Off pissing on a cop car  In the hall with a poptart  Sipping liquor in the rockbar  Everyone climb to the frontline  Lunchtimes cancelled  All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill  Onlookers passers-by shake off that rubble  Brush off your shoulders  Break free from your standstill    Signs of a better world  Causes we understand  Failures we expected to occur  And bring redemption for our sins  Safety from the crowds  In the shadows on the run  We write our own cider house  Rules to keep alive  Rituals that prove their worth  Search for systems we can trust  Rhythms we can lock into    This is madness salvage teams  Can't bandage  Hope when its damaged  Or broken compassion  Not enough rope in the van when  World is collapsing  Our mode of action  Broadcast through the glass  Its all we can manage  Donate with the plastic  Scraps from the salad  Hoping to balance  Emotions invalidated  And staged on 4:3 aspects  Just ballast for sadness  Lives shattered are standard  Fare for cameras and channels  Stare no abracabras    No faster answers  Or mantras for disasters  Remastered and plastered  Got it all backwards  Do you know the faction your backing  Its another man down  Another mother gone  Child drowned  Another silenced song  Solitude  Another kind of strong  I miss you  Another strung along  Missing in action  Another page is blackend burned  Turned to ashes to ashes  Dust off the flags and the caskets  We will never find another you  Despite the life of love we knew  These lightning times are trouble who  Cant count the strikes that punished through  The bonds we thought would never break  And never will and never fade and never change  But there is the rage  Of losing you to their mistakes    In between the lines  Signs of a the next movement  Refuge from the crowd  Outside of the law  Causes we understand  Hands that trace  Instructions for descendants in the  Shadows on the run  Underneath the veil  Failures we expected to  Occur and bring redemption for our sins  In between the lines
