"Oath" lyrics

"Oath"

How'd you find hate at the end of a long rope?
Got a lot to say
Gatekeeping on a feeling indescribable
Finding pleasure in their pain

Cutting corners off of inconsequential correlations
And since it's so above us
We keep reaching for...

Love
Gotta feel the weight now from it
Love
We need the heat now from it

Keep quiet when it comes to how your blood pumps
Not a lot to say
Family tradition of sweeping scum under the rug
So shine a light now on your shame

Picking poison out of
The waters we washed up to shore from
And let the tide then take us
Back to the ocean floor for more

There's no place for hate now in our hearts
With it we'll only be torn apart

Gotta feel the weight now from it
Love
We need the heat now from it
Love
Grovel at its feet now
Hold it up
This energy is equal
Feel the hum

Your identity is not a checkmark in a box
It's in how you shine
It's how you utilize your love

Gotta feel the weight now from it
Love
We need the heat now from it
Love
Grovel at its feet now
Hold it up
Don't loosen your grip on us
