Make It Stop (September's Children)

Rise Against

Bang bang go the coffin nails
like a breath, exhaled then gone forever
it seems like just yesterday
how did i miss the red flags raise?
think back to the days we left
we brave these bitter storms together
brought to his knees he cried
but on his feet he died

what god would deal a heart?
and what god drove us apart?
what god could...

make it stop
let this end
18 years pushed to the ledge
it's come to this
a weightless step
on the way down, singing
whoah, oh...

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 the nation under god
i feel its love like a cattleprod
i'm born free, but still they hate
i'm born me, no, 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
18 years pushed to the ledge
it's come to this
a weightless step
on the way down, singing
whoah, oh...

the cold river, wash him away
but how could we forget
the cavalries of candles
but not their tongues
and too much blood has fallen from the wrist
of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss?
who will rise to stop the blood?
we're calling for, insisting on
a different beat, yeah, a brand new song

make it stop
let this end
this life chose me
i'm not lost in sin
i'm proud
i stand
of who i am
i plan of going on living

make it stop
let this end
all these years pushed to the ledge
i'm proud i stand
of who i am
i plan to go on living
