Woah, woah
Bang bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled,
Then gone forever
It seems just like yesterday, how did I miss the red flag's raise?
Think back, the days we left
We braved these bitter storms together
And brought to his knees he cried,
But on his feet he died
What God would damn a heart?
And what God drove us apart?
What God could
Make it stop,
Let this end,
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
It's come to this,
A weightless step,
On the way down singing
Woah, woah
Bang bang from the closet walls,
The schoolhouse halls,
The shotgun's loaded
Push me and I'll push back
I'm done asking, I demand
From a nation under God,
I feel it's love like a cattle prod
I'm born free, but still they hate
I'm born me, no I can't change
It's always darkest just before the dawn
So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong
Make it stop,
Let this end,
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
It's come to this,
A weightless step,
On the way down singing
Woah, woah
The cold river washed him away,
But how could we forget?
The gathering's hold candles, but not their tongues
And too much blood has flown from the wrists,
Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss
Who will rise to stop the blood
We're counting for,
Insisting on,
A different beat, yeah
A brand new song

Make it stop
Make this end,
This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin
And proud I stand, of who I am,
I plan to go on living;
Make it stop
Let this end,
All these years pushed to the ledge
But proud I stand, of who I am,
I plan to go on living
