"Antidote" lyrics

"Antidote"

To sleep with anger every day and put your prayers in someone's mouth
I watch you struggle with your own antidote, then you spit it out spit it out
And I can't breathe while I watch you sell yourself into the world
You try to steal my life

Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Breaking the prison inside
We're running riot
Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Will we bide our time afraid?
Will we wait or overthrow?
Overthrow
Overthrow
Overthrow

All these things and the times a stain to remove
Beauty in our makeup peace in a gun
Pushing our souls in resistance to prove
One of these colors does bleed and run
Things and the times a stain to remove
Beauty in our makeup peace in a gun
Pushing our souls in resistance to prove
One of these colors does bleed and run
One of these colors does bleed and run
One of these colors does bleed and run
One of these colors does bleed and run

It's the war inside of us all

Poverty is the biggest strongest jail that the government ever built
So we go paralyzed by the lie of socialized violence
And while American culture seeds stagnation with its guilt
Our society is the lie we define with our silence

So now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Breaking the prison inside -
We're running riot
Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Will we bide our time afraid?
Will we wait or overthrow?
Overthrow

And while American culture seeds stagnation with its guilt
Our society is the lie we define we define with our silence
With our silence
With our silence
With our silence

A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
