lyrics

We used to sing about
Trying to leave town
Fleeing was the only
Option we knew of

More reasons to run
Less time to bide
Hide and seek with
Only one closet

Ain't no shame
In seeking survival
But days like these
We need something more

We're on our last legs
Unused to marathon
Pursued by iron men
From dusk till dawn

We've got nothing left to lose
So why can't we win
The struggle goes on and on
So let's contribute to the din

Pushed to the edge
By chameleon intent
Designed to divide
Rather be the martyr
Than the one left behind

This could be the turning point
No longer shouting into the void

We've reached the finish line
Ocean at our backs
Tidal wave or a revolution
Impossible to keep track

No more running
Just to save face
Keep moving forward
But now we set the pace
We used to sing about
Trying to leave town
But now we are ready
To stand our ground

So fuck leaving
Sow what they're reaping
This could be the turning point
