Текст песни Inside.Voices - Five & DJ.Fresh

Step back from that cliff and inch towards a blade
Or shut your eyes, take a risk, and have a little faith
No good choices, pick your poison
Painful truth or awkward lie
Bloody screams, inside voices
Both are pointless, they can't hear you cry
Tell me there's an obstacle
Don't say that's impossible
To accomplish the improbable
Love is always optional
Evolution is unstoppable and flourishes in the adverse
To soar you must fall first and sometimes that hurts
What's the worst that can happen if we flirt with disaster
Natural instinct, primal passion
Flock together, pain and laughter
Can't we move a little faster
Skip the setup and the chatter
Let's descend into madness
Chance some skin then heal up after
Bad actors, cash grabbers, and mad hatters
Sad bastards, bag snatchers, and back stabbers
Flags tatter, glass shatters, and rats scatter
Now look who's stuck sweeping up, preaching that facts matter

Tried to cry for help, but couldn't get the words out
Fighting for a breath, somebody tell them that it hurts now
We saw them put their hands up before we heard the gunshots
They knew it was the wrong house but no one knocked
Tried to beg for help, but couldn't push the words out
Can you police the cops, will you tell them that it hurts now
They ran for their lives and then we heard the gunshots
More names for the headlines but no ones shocked

Rumors bouncing down alleys, lies rolling in the wind
We got some game to spit, a few rules to bend
They have stories to embellish, false narratives to spin
When it blows up in our faces, we'll just do it all again
They can't stand consequence but love stirring trouble
Misplay their cards then blame the fucking shuffle
Spend up every last penny and still claim its just a hustle
While we choke back the tears and act like the pain is subtle
There's a devil in the detail we got really good at finding
Some people push buttons, we broke it down to a science
That patented concoction of codependence and defiance
The brightest stars are the ones that are dying
Now there's a metaphor there, I'm just too high to find it
It's not that I don't care, sometimes I miss the silence
The pretty lights look better from afar
Pull the frame in tight and stay right where you are

Tried to cry for help, but couldn't get the words out
Fighting for a breath, somebody tell them that it hurts now
We saw them put their hands up before we heard the gunshots
They knew it was the wrong house but no one knocked
Tried to beg for help, but couldn't push the words out
Can you police the cops, will you tell them that it hurts now
They ran for their lives and then we heard the gunshots
More names for the headlines but no ones shocked

I'm not the type of person that will turn the other cheek
I'm the one that wants to get the job done by any means
I'm better at throwing at shit, someone else can give a speech
It's an ethos not a motto, no justice no peace
De-fund the police
Destigmatize the poor
How can you declare a riot when you've incited a war
If you didn't want violence the fuck you fighting us for
Could this be a spring shower or the eye of the storm
We don't really have a preference
Only asking for leverage
Trying to gain a point of reference
Off which to base your deceptions
We won't solve the world's problems
We can ask the right questions
We won't shut our fucking mouths so you know we'll spread a message
Unprecedented times call for unconventional methods
Brought some soup for that ass, y'all looking hungry I reckon
Yeah we can't tame a beast but we can kill it with no weapons
Out here fighting for a future by handing out history lessons

Tried to cry for help, but couldn't get the words out
Fighting for a breath, somebody tell them that it hurts now
We saw them put their hands up before we heard the gunshots
They knew it was the wrong house but no one knocked
Tried to beg for help, but couldn't push the words out
Can you police the cops, will you tell them that it hurts now
They ran for their lives and then we heard the gunshots
More names for the headlines but no ones shocked
