They wear us down until the blood starts flowing
Instituting a campaign of fear
Try to break us but the anger's growing
Pushing back against the crush it's clear that
They're getting ruthless now
Make no excuses
We will be ruthless now
Give back the bruises
They wear us down until the blood starts flowing
Instituting a campaign of fear
Try to break us but the anger's growing
Pushing back against the crush it's clear there's
No peace
No love
No compromise
Relentlessly we're pushing through the flood
Holding fast against each new attack
Never resting, always thinking
"Who will save us when the water turns black?"
Who will save us when the water's black?
They're getting ruthless now
Make no excuses
We will be ruthless now
Give back the bruises
The power of our resistance lies in our resilience and compassion
But compassion doesn't equal submission and we will not back down
And we will not accept the normalization of brutality
Try not to sink, I know you're tired
I know you're tired
'Cause I am tired
