[Verse 1] Dont let it out If you hold it in only truth will come from your mouth And I wear these scars Like badges, like ribbons, like, Hey this is who we are The tide told me if you cross this bridge it will lead you to the sea But all thats left is land Its hard to believe but these books say we are sinking [Chorus] And in the basements we saw That God didnt care They let our friends be pushed so deep beyond any repair And if its a heavy hope, you better hold it close And dont ever let it go [Verse 2] So now take all you know And show it to the kids who need it the most With 40 percent oppressed and taking lives that were never spent [Chorus] And in the basements we saw That God didnt care They put our friends down in a world far from fair And if its a heavy hope, you better hold it close And dont ever let it go [Bridge] All the maps ever drawn are slipping through the lines like decaying songs Everything always changes The tide These scars These suicides The lack of rights and the basement nights [Chorus] Cause in the basements we saw that God didnt care They let our friends be pushed so deep beyond any repair And if its a heavy hope, you better hold it close Until the day you let it all go [Outro] And so now, let it out Cause if you hold it in only lies will come from your mouth
