The Drowning
[Verse 1]
High on fire and solid confidence
Truthful rantings, but no one is listening
Check collateral, sweep the corners
The fear of words in a fucked-up reality
[Verse 2]
Steal my freedom of speech, my liberty
Fail my rights to express myself
All this half-lied, Semper Fi, stone-faced bullshit
Infecting me to deplete my design
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in the fear of gods
The more I see, the less I want
I was not raised to shut my mouth
But as long it holds me
I will fight it and scold it
All my life
[Verse 3]
Merge and fold to avoid complexity
All we know is a backfire parody
Know your place, you see no malady
Shut your hole and accept the abuse
[Refrain]
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
I don't care if we all go down
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
I don't care if we all go down
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in the fear of gods
The more I see, the less I want
I was not raised to shut my mouth
But as long it holds me
I will fight it and scold it
All my life
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
As I close my eyes, I can see it now
In a sepia twilight sundown
To the sound of electric eyes
The obedient sons and the daughters
All perfectly in line
All hail, raised hands
In impeccable synchronicity
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in the fear of gods
The more I see, the less I want
I was not raised to shut my mouth
But as long it holds me
I will fight it and scold it
All my life
