lyrics

I've been finding my playlists dwindling
I've been finding my heroes have been found out
And all the men we looked up to at sixteen
Were playing martyrs but we see that they're monsters now
And you can't hide behind self deprecation
To cover cracks that expand into canyons
You'll be judged not by words, but by actions
You talk about spine as if you ever had one.

And now there's flowers on my arm,
Where your lyrics used to be
The only cover up you managed to achieve
And we'll throw away all of your records,
Your t-shirts and posters too
Till all that's left are covered up tattoos.

So I say fuck these self-loathing bastards,
We all see you, we see that you're cowards now
We'll rally round all the people that you hurt
Lift up their voices so loud you can't drown them out
We'll start our own bands and hold ourselves up to
A higher standard than the bar that you set for us
We'll take you down, we'll destroy the whole pedestal
Piece by piece we will grind all of the rot to dust

And now there's flowers on my arm,
Where your lyrics used to be
The only cover up you managed to achieve
And we'll throw away all of your records,
Your t-shirts and posters too
Till all that's left are covered up tattoos.

We won't forgive
We won't forget
We won't forgive
And as time goes we won't forget
