Lazarus

In another life, we launched a strike

Against the ocean and fought the waves

The dream we brought to life got its throat cut and washed away

You crawled into your darkness and acted rotten, flesh decayed

And plead with us to keep it shut and leave you with your rage

No names to lay the blame down on, no words to use as weapons

No prize for all your precious charm to win, no firm direction

And if inside that second you decide that life is forfeit

And cop a hangman's necklace for your fortune, I will watch you

I saw you in your summer, thought you'd be the light in autumn

But every knife has had a slice and shadows bleed out longer

You talked the sun down from its place

Convinced that night had fallen

You lay down in your grave and let a liar kiss your coffin

I've eaten my tongue off the plate, the taste has made me nauseous

Consider this resistance to your only standing orders

I don't believe you rest in peace, I don't believe you can

I hope you rise, I hope you wake the fuck up, dead man!

This sickness will not end in death

This sickness, this sickness, this sickness will not end in death

C'mon, dig, push, shake off the dust

Wake up the mind, make the blood rush

God is never coming back, Lazarus

There's no justice, it's just us

So ball your fists and give a fuck if you wanna get up

Don't call it a what? You've been here for years

Waiting for a savior that will never appear

But here's hoping, words that you hold in your throat 'til you open

Crawl through the dark and push back the boulder

Cast out the shadow, it's all good

We're older, wiser, more inspired

And you already know how the rhymes are (Higher)

Yeah, and I do need to boast

'Cause this goes out to those we hold close

Who die by the record and ride for they folks (Safe city)

No love for the ones with no code

Hopped on for a second or runnin' some shows

But I ain't cosign shit, motherfucker, hell no

Those free EPs ain't worth the download
