[intro: garrett russell]
bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it liberation
bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it liberation [1]
invader, you dare make me a stranger
invader, you brand me as a traitor [2]

[verse 1: garrett russell]
these borders were forged in loss
painted with a martyr’s forgotten blood [3]
legions of stone infecting the land
legions we carved into the palm of god’s hand [4]
stigmata cities st-tched together with walls intent
on sanitizing the sedition of our dark traditions
we begin with the purest of intentions
then fabricate the cruelest inventions

[interlude: garrett russell]
interpret the subtext: “s – o – s”
euthanized with euphemistic lies, populace of blank binary minds [5]
appet-te for endless apathy, breathing in, in, insecurity [6]

[verse 2: garrett russell]
until you see your reflection through the scope of a weapon
nothing will ever change
a revolution stirs in the silence
the movement defies this negative sp-ce [7]

[chorus: garrett russell & thomas freckleton]
i hear you through the noise
the truth that speaks in silence [8], scale the divides we devise
we locked out the world, but we’re locked inside
i hear you through the noise
the hope [9] sung from the margins [10], my heartbeat just a step behind
i didn’t know your name, but i knew we were out of time

[verse 3: garrett russell]
nuclear families split apart like the atom [11]
demagogues [12] proliferate the calloused grip of the state
the future asphyxiates under nativist suspicions
insipid minds domestic fission

[interlude: garrett russell]
bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it liberation
bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it liberation

[verse 4: garrett russell]
thirteen, cold as a stillborn – wounds still warm in his chest [13] behold the crimson lens, peer through the gaps in the flesh
bullets raining from babylon: [14] the price of wealth
how can you resist this cycle if you can’t resist yourself? [15]

[bridge: garrett russell]
what a world we knew
before we fearfully withdrew
to our silent cells of solitude
but still, i hear you, i hear you

[chorus: garrett russell & thomas freckleton]
i hear you through the noise
the truth that speaks in silence, scale the divides we devise
we locked out the world, but we’re locked inside
i hear you through the noise
the hope sung from the margins, my heartbeat just a step behind
i didn’t know your name but i knew we were out of time
