Make It Stop (september's Children)

Intro: (4x) Verse: bang bang go the coffin nails Like a breath exhaled and gone forever seems like just yesterday How did i miss the red flags Raised? think back to days we laughed We braved these bitter storms together Brought to his knees he cried, but on his feet he died Pre-chorus: what god could damn a har-eart? And what god drove us apa-hart (“apart”)? What god co-hould (“could”) make it stop, let this end Eighteen years pushed to the ledge. it’s come this, a weightless step On the way down singing Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Post-Chorus: verse: 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 i’m born me, no, i can’t change Pre-chorus: it’s always darkest just before the dawn So stay awake with me Lets prove them wrong Make it stop, let this end Eighteen years pushed to the ledge. it’s come this, a weightless step On the way down singing Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh bridge: 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 wrists Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss Who will rise to stop the blood? We’re counting for, insisting on A different beat, yeah, a brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh A brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 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. and proud i stand of who i am I plan to go on living!
