Let the fire burn a hole through everything
Leave only unidentifiable remains
Let the water breach the levee, let every well run dry
While the cupboards all are emptied, we were told to wait outside

And we closed our eyes
And ran these red lights
Out of ideas, out of options, out of answers
Out of road and out of time

Is there nothin' that can save us now?
Is there nothin' that can save us now?

We all will run, we all will hide
But this is not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied 
But this is not the answer now

But I can't tell you that it's gonna be okay
And anybody else that does is lying to your face (tell me)
Do your bones ache like mine? (Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Did we lock ourselves outside?

But these roads can still be built
And these wrongs can be undone
We no longer can sit still
While there's a war outside that's waiting to be won

Is there nothin' that can save us now?
Is there nothin' that can save us now?

We all will run, we all will hide
But this is not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied 
But this is not the answer

It's only getting darker
So dark that we can't even see
The tourniquet is tied off
But we've only begun to bleed
And everybody's tired
Of fightin' for a space to sleep
The tide is getting higher
But we've only begun to bleed

Is there nothin' that can save us now?
Is there nothin' that can save us now?
(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothin' that can save us now?
(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothin' that can save?
Is there nothin' that can save us now?
