they’re all around us Lyrics by Poppy
Coward
They’re all around us
Stab me in the back and you don’t think twice
Refute amity and now I’m vilified
Horror reigning down on the demonstration
Down with your performative action
Rain down, rain down
You know you can’t trust no one
Have you seen yourself?
I’m not a sucker, I can see right through
When your spirit’s black and blue
And the heroes all desert you
Will you curse what’s coming true?
And the hate won’t count you out
It’ll leave you in the shadows
They’re all around us
Never wait around
‘Fore the day won’t come
Disintegrate to a frail remembrance
Stolen off the back from the ones you loved
You take their hand
Then you claim corruption
Rain down, rain down
You know you can’t trust no one
Have you seen yourself?
You motherfucker, I can
See right through
Wave your false flag
Traitors all around
I’m discontent until they stay down
When your spirit’s black and blue
And the heroes all desert you
Will you curse what’s coming true?
And the hate won’t count you out
It’ll leave you in the shadows
They’re all around us
But underneath
Under the weight of God
Crawling on your knees
Un-believe
All of the promise in you
There’s a fate you’ll meet
From every inch of the mire
They claw to grasp for what was never theirs to take
Ignorance is a poison
They feed their kids and then
They walk among us
When your spirit’s black and blue
And the heroes all desert you
Will you curse what’s coming true?
And the hate won’t count you out
It’ll leave you in the shadows
They’re all around us
They’re all around us
