All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid
Have made their way here instead, before the riot
As the days ahead become behind
Replace the tape as we rewind, before the riot

Tell me all your secrets
Say it slow and clear, so you don't have to speak twice
And if there's things that I'm afraid to know
Should have learned them years ago before thе riot

I don't believe wе're hopeless as we fear
Or as good as we appear before the riot
I can be strong inside your sleeping eyes
Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies, before the riot

Think of what we're missing
And then take that thought and put it out of your head
And if we can stop a restless night
Won't give up without a fight before the riot

I can feel the time is coming, sure it's coming soon
Do what we do, hiding out from view
Sure it's coming, say the worst should happen
Would we plan for that even if we could?

And if we can stop a restless night
Won't give up without a fight before the riot
Here it comes, before the riot
