My body lay frozen in the finest attire
Even with eyes wide shut
I can hear the looks on their faces
Every mourning mask worn with insincerity

These things always bring a few
They come to pay respect to their own shattered dreams
Sorry to disappoint but today is not that day
Your crocodile tears will have to wait it seems

Close your eyes, just a moment
Listen to the frame dissolve into horizon
Pick a side, choose your colors
Wave your flag, keep away from the fences
At last you can hear the sound of your heart beating
For just a moment

Don't you dare, ring that bell
I will claw through the dirt
To all that came, my apologies

This book still has pages left unwritten
A story familiar to those bitten

I will claw through the dirt
To all that came, my apologies
This book still has pages left unwritten
Take these coins off my eyes
I'm not ready to be put down
If only you could hear the screams in my mind
Take these coins off my eyes

The action breaks the rules
We create, we decide
Security's your box
Art is our line

These coins aren't sewn to my eyes
Take these coins off my eyes

Forget all you thought you knew
You won't put us down!
Scratch our names off your list
You'll never put us down!
Put us down!
