[00:00.46] Born in the flood
[00:01.71] Bloody fingerpaint sets
[00:03.27] Blackmarketed fresh
[00:05.23] Water canons forget me not
[00:07.38] Epitaph airbrush with death
[00:09.71] White t's
[00:10.84] Wife beaters
[00:11.32] Button up
[00:12.41] Reattach flesh
[00:14.56] In between the lines
[00:15.66] Outside of the law
[00:17.85] Underneath the veil
[00:19.71] We dig our foundations
[00:21.27] We navigate the globe
[00:22.62] Trying to find a pattern to break the mold
[00:24.39] With a family to feed
[00:26.03] Theres nowhere we wont go
[00:28.52] But what if were caught
[00:32.77] They say Im a snitch
[00:33.79] Shot at the check point
[00:34.50] Found with his throat slit
[00:36.01] Theres spray paint on the teleprompter
[00:37.02] Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster
[00:38.63] Mayday
[00:39.30] Theres bloodstains on his shirt
[00:40.29] Mayday
[00:40.96] They say that hes gone berserk
[00:46.26] Sometimes
[00:46.94] When I wanna shut out this world
[00:48.11] Wanna rip up this page
[00:49.97] Wanna pour out this heart
[00:51.51] Wanna get up on this stage
[00:53.42] And my lips become percussion
[00:54.94] And my fists become the rage
[00:56.34] And I pound on this table
[00:58.21] Til it gives me something to say
[00:59.95] Then I think about things that Ive seen
[01:01.58] Right in front of me
[01:02.43] That I dont wanna believe
[01:03.46] Gimme one of these mikes
[01:04.45] Lemme letem know
[01:05.69] The way that it is is not how its gonna be
[01:08.52] Not if we dont letem get ahead of us
[01:10.16] The present tensions no threat
[01:11.87] Its just a fence across the path
[01:13.36] That were already ready to walk
[01:15.36] Rock solid footsteps
[01:16.60] Letem put up obstacles
[01:17.87] And prove that it isnt possible
[01:19.63] Fuck that
[01:20.40] We dont giveem any weight
[01:21.67] True liberty and freedoms at stake
[01:22.75] Peace will never become pass
[01:24.42] Live my life until my last day
[01:26.00] It was half-past eight in the bat cave
[01:28.05] When the cracks in the plaster collapsed
[01:30.51] And gave way to gaps in the pavement
[01:32.17] Mayday mayday
[01:33.31] Put it on blast
[01:34.36] For the passengers and messengers
[01:35.78] Cause this is a disaster
[01:37.59] Where the fuck are the rescue workers
[01:39.77] Not far
[01:40.80] Off pissing on a cop car
[01:42.23] In the hall with a poptart
[01:44.01] Sipping liquor in the rockbar
[01:45.81] Everyone climb to the frontline
[01:48.18] Lunchtimes cancelled
[01:49.20] All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill
[01:52.65] Onlookers passers-by shake off that rubble
[01:54.55] Brush off your shoulders
[01:57.45] Break free from your standstill
[01:59.55] Signs of a better world
[02:02.18] Causes we understand
[02:03.82] Failures we expected to occur
[02:05.92] And bring redemption for our sins
[02:08.03] Safety from the crowds
[02:09.98] In the shadows on the run
[02:11.53] We write our own cider house
[02:13.50] Rules to keep alive
[02:15.02] Rituals that prove their worth
[02:16.53] Search for systems we can trust
[02:17.88] Rhythms we can lock into
[02:25.27] This is madness salvage teams
[02:26.46] Can't bandage
[02:26.99] Hope when its damaged
[02:27.53] Or broken compassion
[02:28.37] Not enough rope in the van when
[02:29.76] World is collapsing
[02:30.65] Our mode of action
[02:31.43] Broadcast through the glass
[02:32.65] Its all we can manage
[02:33.54] Donate with the plastic
[02:34.30] Scraps from the salad
[02:35.06] Hoping to balance
[02:35.97] Emotions invalidated
[02:36.81] And staged on 4: 3 aspects
[02:38.38] Just ballast for sadness
[02:39.55] Lives shattered are standard
[02:41.21] Fare for cameras and channels
[02:42.84] Stare no abracabras
[02:44.41] No faster answers
[02:45.57] Or mantras for disasters
[02:46.79] Remastered and plastered
[02:48.29] Got it all backwards
[02:49.49] Do you know the faction your backing
[02:50.62] Its another man down
[02:52.13] Another mother gone
[02:53.28] Child drowned
[02:53.75] Another silenced song
[02:54.74] Solitude
[02:55.40] Another kind of strong
[02:56.39] I miss you
[02:57.02] Another strung along
[02:58.08] Missing in action
[02:59.35] Another page is blackend burned
[03:00.92] Turned to ashes to ashes
[03:02.31] Dust off the flags and the caskets
[03:04.12] We will never find another you
[03:05.89] Despite the life of love we knew
[03:07.77] These lightning times are trouble who
[03:09.25] Cant count the strikes that punished through
[03:10.94] The bonds we thought would never break
[03:12.51] And never will and never fade and never change
[03:14.35] But there is the rage
[03:16.00] Of losing you to their mistakes
[03:17.98] In between the lines
[03:19.06] Signs of a the next movement
[03:19.98] Refuge from the crowd
[03:20.94] Outside of the law
[03:21.68] Causes we understand
[03:22.52] Hands that trace
[03:23.45] Instructions for descendants in the
[03:24.36] Shadows on the run
[03:25.71] Underneath the veil
[03:26.85] Failures we expected to
[03:27.85] Occur and bring redemption for our sins
[03:30.43] In between the lines
[03:33.28]
Mayday!!! Lyrics
