Gristle Blower

(album: Epilogue - 2021)

Masks down, stars are up
Cut the gates, we've had enough
Raise the penalties and see if any of us give a fuck
Boot the doors, mouths are shut
Something that we can't discuss
You'll be exposed before you know your fucking time is up

Razor wire and cameras line the fence of these facilities
The trucks go in full and come out cold and empty

Scared to death of surveillance because you know what we'll find
Look over your shoulder, there's always a pair of eyes
If I were you I'd be shitting myself because
The truth comes out, you'll have a lot to answer for

Masks down, stars are up
Cut the gates, we've had enough
Raise the penalties and see if any of us give a fuck
Boot the doors, mouths are shut
Something that we can't discuss
You'll be exposed before you know your fucking time is up

Prying through the wires
My hands meet trembling skin
Before we light the fires
Remove them from the hell they're in

They look at me in fear and I don't fucking blame them
I must look exactly like the ones that maimed them

Fuck this shit, let it burn, burn, burn
Fucking burn it to the ground
Backwards laws were made to be broken, to be broken so
Burn, burn, burn, show them that we aren't fucking around
This is an emergency in case you haven't noticed

You say you care but that's complete bullshit
Tell that to the ones that had their fucking throats slit
Don't tell me you're happy that they're safe
When they were saved from you in the fucking first place
