(Woah, woah) Bang bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled Then gone forever It seems like just yesterday, how did I miss the red flags raise? Think back, the days we left We braved these bitter storms together But brought to his knees he cried But on his feet he cried What God would damn a heart? And what God drove us apart? What God could (Begin Chorus) 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) (End Chorus) 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 its love like a cattle prod I'm born free, but still they hate (Born free) I'm born me, no, I can't change (Born me) It's always darkest just before the dawn So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong Chorus The cold river washed him away, but how could we forget? The gatherings hold candles, but not their tongues And too much blood has flown from the wrist Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss Who will rise to stop the blood We're coming for, insisting on, a different beat, yeah A brand new song (Spoken by Tim) Tyler Clementi, age eighteen Billy Lucas, age fifteen Harrison Chase Brown, age fifteen Cody J Barker, age seventeen Seth Walsh, age thirteen 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 |
