Antidote - Strike Anywhere

To sleep with anger every day — to put your prayers in someone’s mouth

I watch you struggle with your own antidote, then you 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?

All these things in my life dem a stain to remove

Beauty in our makeup peace in a gun cut the picture of yourself

In resistance to prove at least 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

A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
