My heart beats, breath steady
This peace is deadly
Walled in by the comfort
Walled out, I can't hear who suffers
A vain lie allures me
Says I'm deserving
The veiled wage for trusting it
I make way for another's suffering
It's not enough to say I'm grateful
Our fates are bound with chains
Lulled to sleep by a siren song of peace
Drowning out the stolen dreams
Of those who won't make it
As long as there's a fake divide
I'm not running from scorched earth
Not raising my arms for mercy
Get my hands and feet to work
If some of us can't make it
None of us will make it out alive
Our house tilts, the foundation
Was built on broken bones
If it falls while we're sleeping
We're all going down
It's not enough to say, "What a blessing"
Gonna share a last breath
Lulled to sleep by a siren song of peace
Drowning out the stolen dreams
Of those who won't make it
As long as there's a fake divide
I'm not running from scorched earth
Not raising my arms for mercy
Get my hands and feet to work
If some of us can't make it
None of us will make it out alive
I'm not running from my own country
No I am not running now to save my life
I am not raising my hands up in a plea for mercy
Not raising my hands up to break the strike
Lulled to sleep by a siren song of peace (I'm not running to escape the famine)
Drowning out the stolen dreams (no i am not running now in search of life)
Put my hands and feet to work (I am not raising my hands up in a plea for mercy)
If some of us can't make it (I am not raising)
None of us will make it out alive (my hands up)
