Make It Stop

Make It Stop —— Rise Against

Bang bang go the coffin nails

Like a breath exhaled been gone forever

It seems like just yesterday

How did I miss the red flames

Raise these back the days we left

We braved these bitter storms together

Brought to his knees he cried

But on his feet he died

What God would damn a heart

And what God drove us apart

What God could

Make it stop Let this end

Eighteen years pushed to the ledge

It's come to this

A weightless step

On the way down singing

Woah woah

Woah woah

Bang bang from the closet walls

The schoolhouse halls

The shotgun's loaded

Push me and I'll push back

I'm done asking I demand

From a nation under God

I feel it's love like a cattle prod

Born free but still they hate

Bore me I can't change

It's always darkest just before the dawn

So stay awake with me let's prove them wrong

Make it stop let this end

Eighteen years pushed to the ledge

It's come to this

A weightless step

On the way down singing

Woah woah

Woah woah

The cold river washed him away

But how could we forget

Gathering candles but not their tongues

And too much blood has flown from the wrist

Of children shamed for those they chose to kiss

Who will rise to stop the blood

We're coming for

Insisting on a different beat yeah

A brand new song Woah woah)

A brand new song Woah woah)

Woah woah)

Woah woah)

Woah woah )

Make it stop make this end

This life chose me I'm not lost in sin

And proud I stand of who I am

I plan to go on living

Make it stop let this end

All these years pushed to the ledge

I'm proud of this of who I am

Prepare to go on living
