The Answer

Let the fire burn a hole through everything

Leave only unidentifiable remains

Let the water breach the levee

Let every well run dry

While the cupboards all were emptied

We were told to wait outside

We closed our eyes

And ran these red lights

Out of ideas, out of options

Out of answers, out of road and out of time

Is there nothing that can save us now?

Is there nothing that can save us now?

We all run, we all hide

But this is the not the answer

Our mouths shut, our hands tied

But this is not the answer now

And I can't tell you that's it's gonna be okay

And anybody else that does is lying to your face (tell me)

Do your bones ache like mine? (Tell me, tell me, tell me)

Did we lock ourselves outside?

But these roads can still be built

And these wrongs can be undone

We no longer can sit still

While there's a war outside that's waiting to be won

Is there nothing that can save us now?

Is there nothing that can save us now?

We all run, we all hide

But this is the not the answer

Our mouths shut, our hands tied

But this is not the answer now

It's only getting darker

So dark that we can't even see

The tourniquet is tied off

But we've only begun to bleed

And everybody's tired

Of fighting for a space to sleep

The tide is getting higher

But we've only begun to bleed

(Oh) is there nothing that can save us now?

(Oh) is there nothing that can save us now?

(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)

Is there nothing that can save us now?

(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)

Is there nothing that can save—

Is there nothing that can save us now?
