[Intro: Veela]
These bars sway
In my mind and in my eyes
Still they stay
Bloody hands retaliate, retaliate, retaliate, retaliate
Retaliate, retaliate, retaliate, retaliate
Bloody hands retaliate

[Chorus: Veela]
Hold down this
I’ll hold down this
I’m locked in this
Head up
You’ve got this
I’m all in this
I’ve just gotta wait for it
We’re all in this
Get me out
A hell of a lotta pressure
Wince at all the things that can’t be made out
Turn around the step sounds are comin' through the ether
I’m over here

[Verse 1: Veela, Nonelikejoshua]
Thank, thank God
That you got away now
The air is gettin' too loud
And did you get—
No I didn’t get hurt
Thank God I was so worried
I’m stuck in suspense
Have they come yet?
It’s been really lonely
This cell’s chokin' me
It’s a war out there
Is it really?
It’s almost been a week
I’m tired too
Have you gotten to eat?
My suit is fitting loosely
We need your help
I don’t have a gun
Fighting with this lock can’t be undone
I am fading
Retaliate, retaliate
Retaliate, retaliate, retaliate
I am fading
[Verse 2: Nonelikejoshua]
Take my hand running through the bars
Never been so close never felt so far
I can see the angst running through your eyes
And the time flies where the line divides
Between you and I
When you’re needed most
I can see the ghost that would like to die
But you’re bleeding hope for your mind inside
I have to get you out

[Chorus: Veela, Nonelikejoshua]
(Retaliate)
Hold down this
I’ll hold down this
I’m locked in this
Head up
You’ve got this
I’m all in this
I’ve just gotta wait for it
We’re—
Thank God you didn't get hurt
Get me out

[Verse 3: Veela, Nonelikejoshua]
His gloves hit the ground and
His skin tore at the iron
Rods burned, eyes watered
For a split second when he yelled
And hit the chamber
Couldn’t contain his anger
Do what you need to do
It’s been somewhat of a stressor
Can’t be with my team now more than ever
Failing as a head 'cause I’ve been captured
Breakin' out
Get hurt
[Bridge: Veela, Nonelikejoshua]
Retaliate, retaliate
Get hurt
Retaliate, retaliate
I'm over here
Get, get, get
Bloody
Get
Bloody
Get
Bloody, bloody
I'm over here
Bloody, bloody
Get
Bloody
Retaliate
You didn't get hurt, thank God

[Verse 3: Nonelikejoshua, Veela]
Not much of a man if I can’t take away a lady
You’re gonna have to do the noble thing you can’t save me
Don’t talk like that 'cause we need you on the bases
I won’t be coming with you and you know it, stop pacing
It’s getting really quiet, did you hear it, what was that?
I’m sorry baby, but the keys are never comin' back
I can’t just leave you here to die, I need you to survive
You can’t let them die just to save my life (Life, life)
[Outro: Veela, Nonelikejoshua]
Save my life
My life
I'm over here
Thank God
Life
