American Standards - Writers Block Party lyrics

Dancing around like we’re marionettes A stutter in our step A cadence in our breath To the unimpressed I painted myself into a hole I gave up my heart to find a soul Acquit my crimes but still cast your stones The pigs eat filth because it’s all they know And the crowds want more There’s no silence before the storm The clouds came in and the lights went out We were guided by the roar So step inside, find your light When the scavengers come be ready to fight The promise is now at the edge of a knife And when the blood spills you’ll know you’re alive And the crowds want more They want violence before the storm The clouds came in and the lights went out We were guided by the roar You are owned nothing We want an easy fix Snake oil burns too quick Daggers of ill intent With malice towards the heaven sent Give me the rope I’ll tie me down Give me the rope I’ll hang around Safe bet, mindset Remove the spine and the heart Safe bet, mindset And claim what’s left as art Give me the rope I’ll tie me down Give me the rope
