Em x4
Em Cmaj7 D Em
Verse:
Em Cmaj7
Our voices still silence
D
The plans that we've made
The dead cannot hear
Em
All the prayers that we beg
Em Cmaj7
Is there a force without violence
D
Is there a catch with no hook
Em
Believing the lies while they fix all the books
Pre-Chorus
D Cmaj7
Things will never change
D
If we remain the same
Cmaj7
Our hearts call us by name
[Refrão]Em C
These walls won't keep us safe
Gmaj7 D/F#
When they hold us back like barricades
Em C Gmaj7
It's time now to replace these walls
D/F# Em
The walls around our heart
C
There's no price we wont pay
Gmaj7 D/F#
And we steal it back just to give it away
Em C Gmaj7
It's time now to replace these walls
D/F# Em
The walls around our hearts

This brave opposition

Comes naturally
Em
Being exactly who we're supposed to be

D/F# Em ~~~
The walls around our hearts
I don't have to say fuck you
When I could say fornicate,
Or maybe copulate
I'll try to articulate.
Go find seclusion,
Try self-reproduction
Autogamy nation
Epidemic inflation
Stroking your soaking in slippery faith
Keep pulling hard till it covers your face
And I don't have to call you a dick
When I can say hypocrite
Treacherous hideous ridiculous phallus
Meddling mischievous hyper banal,
Intellectual syphilis
Keeping to crusty philosophies clever,
Standing out just like the rest just a member.
