Lyrics
[Garrett Russell] Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation [1] Invader, you dare make me a stranger Invader, you brand me as a traitor [2] [Garrett Russell] These borders were forged in loss Painted with a martyr's forgotten blood [3] Legions of stone infecting the land Legions we carved into the palm of God's hand [4] Stigmata cities stitched together with walls intent On sanitizing the sedition of our dark traditions We begin with the purest of intentions Then fabricate the cruelest inventions [Garrett Russell] Interpret the subtext: "S - O - S" Euthanized with euphemistic lies, populace of blank binary minds [5] Appetite for endless apathy, breathing in, in, insecurity [6] [Garrett Russell] Until you see your reflection through the scope of a weapon Nothing will ever change A revolution stirs in the silence The movement defies this negative space [7] I hear you through the noise The truth that speaks in silence [8], scale the divides we devise We locked out the world, but we're locked inside I hear you through the noise The hope [9] sung from the margins [10], my heartbeat just a step behind I didn't know your name, but I knew we were out of time [Garrett Russell] Nuclear families split apart like the atom [11] Demagogues [12] proliferate the calloused grip of the state The future asphyxiates under nativist suspicions Insipid minds domestic fission [Garrett Russell] Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation [Garrett Russell] Thirteen, cold as a stillborn - wounds still warm in his chest [13] Behold the crimson lens, peer through the gaps in the flesh Bullets raining from Babylon: [14] the price of wealth How can you resist this cycle if you can't resist yourself? [15] [Garrett Russell] What a world we knew Before we fearfully withdrew To our silent cells of solitude But still, I hear you, I hear you I hear you through the noise The truth that speaks in silence, scale the divides we devise We locked out the world, but we're locked inside I hear you through the noise The hope sung from the margins, my heartbeat just a step behind I didn't know your name but I knew we were out of time
