[Verse 1]
This ain't a riot
It's a little taste of the way we are
No peace or quiet
'Til the ceiling breaks and we brave the dark
I'm not a child
Still, I want safety as a fact
It's been a while
But they took the power, take it back

[Build]
Hoping, praying, waiting for the curtain call
What will we see when the curtain finally falls?

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
It ain't a secret
We're all aware of the way it is
I know you see it
As an open fact of the way we live
Oh, aren't you tired?
If you didn't choose this, then who did?
Where can I find them?
I wanna tell thеm a couple things
[Verse 3]
Ooh, so many stories in the samе shape
Ooh, how many more of these can we take?

[Build]
Hoping, praying, waiting for the curtain call
What will we see when the curtain finally falls?

[Drop]

[Bridge]
Ooh, so many stories of the same thing
Ooh, for how much longer can we take this?

[Build]
Hoping, praying, waiting for the curtain call
Living with this kinda makes no sense at all
