Alive, as a Housefire

[Verse 1: Garrett Russell] Identical America: The beautiful land of control See the cages Freedom/Fiction Hear the fascist or ask yourself "Will my anesthetized half-lies still suffice to stifle what life we hoard till we die?" We hide in the guise of benevolence until the system burns (Burn, burn, burn) A system built by subjection (Burn, burn, burn) Must change or face insurrection [Verse 2: Garrett Russell] They found you in your skin They've come to take you in So take a ride, come insidе, they have stars for making stripes Swеrving left and stealing rights, they've only come to take your life [Verse 3: Garrett Russell] The only remedy Is solidarity And now I know the death of my pride is the cost of peace [Chorus: Garrett Russell & Mitch Stark] Cold as the empire that stole away your breath (Stole away your breath) Long as the history they poured inside your chest (Poured inside your chest) Revenant, you're louder than the sound (Love overcomes) Revenant, no grave can hold you down "Follow me, my son, we're just strangers leaving Babylon" [Chorus 2: Garrett Russell & Mitch Stark] Cold as the empire that stole away your breath (Stole away your breath) Long as the history, they poured inside your chest (Poured inside your chest) Revenant, you're louder than the sound (Love overcomes) Revenant, no grave can hold you down We're only shadows till we walk into the sun (Walk into the sun) And they're only tyrants until love overcomes [Outro: Garrett Russell] Fuck the system Fuck the system Fuck the system Fuck the system Fuck the system Break the prism Fuck the system Fuck the system
