Burn It All Down

TV blue on a dead-end night

Scrollin' past another headline fight

Same old suit on a velvet throne

Mouth full of gold

Heart like stone

Concrete cracks

But they paint it clean

Pretty slogans on a rusted machine

Tell you "smile" while they steal your sleep

Call it progress when the cuts go deep

Kids learn fear before they learn their names

Hide-and-seek from the power games

Smoke in the sky

But the feed looks bright

Filter the ash

Oversell the light

This fucking world

Spinning out

Spinning out

Watch it burn

Watch it burn

While they cash you out

This fucking world

Yeah

It's upside down

If it all goes up

We’ll burn it all down

Glass in the sand where the shoreline used to be

Price on the shade from a solitary tree

Pray for rain

Get acid instead

Billboards bloom where the rivers are dead

Office gods with their paper crowns

Push one key

Whole towns drown

Say "be calm

" say "stay proud"

Whisper the truth

But they turn up the crowd

Are we the match

Are we the flood

Are we the ones

Wading through blood

If every lie

Falls to the ground

Will we stay silent

Or tear it all down [crescendo]
