Wait for the sound
Of the sirens called to help you out.
But no one's around to keep your life from going underground.
Stand back, look back
You'll never see them coming
Light fades to black; the only thing you know is.
They are your friends...
Like enemies
They congregate
We stand our ground
They subjugate
We know the sound our bones will make when it comes down, this crushing weight.
We struggle to know who we are and how we're gonna grow.
We gathered to show everything to everyone we know.
Stand back, take back all those things you showed us.
You said off hand. Your words like knives because
You are our friends
Like enemies

We go on living while you paint the world in different shades.
We never listened to your famous lines or the promises you made.
All this time we said we'd hold you up above the crowd.
Listen closely and you'll hear us now...
We are your friends (when it comes down)
We are your friends.

Like enemies
