Antidote Lyrics & Chords By Strike Anywhere

To sleep with anger every day
And put your prayers in someone's mouth
I watch you struggle with your own antidote
Then you spit it out, spit it out
And I can't breathe while I watch you
Sell yourself into the world
You try to steal my life
Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Breaking the prison inside
We're running riot now
Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
While we bide our time
Afraid, we wait or overthrow
Overthrow, overthrow
Things we were taught, a stain hard to remove
Beauty in our makeup, peace in a gun
Pushing our souls in resistance to prove
One of these colors doesn't bleed and run
Things we were taught, a stain hard to remove
Beauty in our makeup, peace in a gun
Pushing our souls in resistance to prove
One of these colors doesn't bleed and run
It's the war inside of us all
Poverty is the biggest, strongest jail
That the government ever built
So we go paralyzed
By the lie of socialized violence
And while American culture seeds
Stagnation with its guilt
Society is the lie we define with our silence
Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Breaking the prison inside
We're running riot now
Now kill the hatred with a new sound
Put a new voice in a dry mouth
While we bide our time
Afraid, we wait or overthrow
And while American culture seeds
Stagnation with its guilt
Society is the lie we define
We define with our silence
With our silence
With our silence
With our silence
A living thing
Resounding one lesson
Forever, always
