Make it stop

MAKE IT STOP
(September's Children)


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
Brought to his knees he cried
But on his feet he died

What God would damn a heart?
And what God drove us apart?
What God could...

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 ...

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 it's love like a cattle prod

(Born free)
I'm born free, but still they hate
(Born me)
I'm born me, no I can't change

It's always darkest just before the dawn
So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong

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 ...

The cold river washed him away
But how could we forget
Gathering candles
But not their tongues

And too much blood has flown from the wrists
Of 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

Woah, woah ...
Woah, woah ...
Woah, woah ...

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
Make this end
All these years, pushed to the ledge
But proud I stand of who I am
I plan to go on living
