The Answer

Let the fire burn a hole through everything Leave only unidentifiable remains Let the water breach the levee Let every well run dry While the cupboards all were emptied We were told to wait outside And we closed our eyes And ran these red lights Out of ideas, out of options, out of answers, out of road And out of time Is there nothing that can save us now? Is there nothing that can save us now? We all run We all hide But this is not the answer Our mouths shut Our hands tied But this is not the answer now And I can't tell you that it's gonna be okay And anybody else that does is lying to your face (tell me) Do your bones ache like mine? (Tell me, tell me, tell me) Did we lock ourselves outside? But these roads can still be built And these wrongs can be undone We no longer can sit still While there's a war outside that's waiting to be won Is there nothing that can save us now? Is there nothing that can save us now? We all run We all hide But this is not the answer Our mouths shut Our hands tied But this is not the answer It's only getting darker So dark that we can't even see The tourniquet is tied off But we've only begun to bleed And everybody's tired Of fighting for a space to sleep The tide is getting higher But we've only begun to bleed Is there nothing that can save us now? Is there nothing that can save us now? (Our mouths shut, our hands tied) Is there nothing that can save us now? (Our mouths shut, our hands tied) Is there nothing that can save Is there nothing that can save us now?
