The Drowning

Lyrics

[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
