I’ve been listening to Thrice a lot lately....
We dream of jailers throwing down their arms
We dream of open gates and no alarms
Look to the day the Earth will shake
These weathered walls will fall away
I found a note scratched in the wall
In a pained and earnest scrawl
The hand I recognized was somehow mine already slight with dread
There's no wind and there's no light
There's no song in here at night
There's nowhere to hide, we're terrified
It's all inside your head
Still, there's something in the way
The light comes shining through
And in the way
The way the curtains move
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
It shows in the way
That you never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore
I was always one of the righteous
Never lived outside of the lines
Kept a close watch on the white wash
Disguising the dead bones inside
I was always one the good ones
Keeping tabs on everyone else
Sure that I was
One of the chosen
But I was a child of hell
We dream of jailers throwing down their arms
We dream of open gates and no alarms
Look to the day the Earth will shake
These weathered walls will fall away
I found a note scratched in the wall
In a pained and earnest scrawl
The hand I recognized was somehow mine already slight with dread
There's no wind and there's no light

It's all inside your head
Still, there's something in the way
The light comes shining through

You told me keep it quiet
That I'd ruin everything
But I'd rather start a riot
Than help you pull these strings
You told me to kneel
I'll tell the real story
I'm the bird that sings
I'm the whistleblower
Wake up and take warning
Congressmen and kings
I'm the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
One day they sent, one day they sent me to the chaplain when I said I can't go on
All he said, all he said was just to shut my mouth and do the "will of God"
But I am never sure who I am killing
How many innocents were in the building?
I drop death out of the...
No longer human beings, no longer people
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
I drop death out of the sky... Tell me why
Tell me why...
"To make us safe, " so it would seem
But we shoot further than we dream
Can't we see? We only justify
Someone's resolve to rise against
And to avenge the innocent
And defend the ones that still survive
I'm still asking "why"
We wave our flags, we swallow fear like medicine
We kiss the hands of profiteers and their congressmen
But I've seen too much (of this fear and hate)
I've had enough (and I'm not afraid)
To raise a shout, to make it clear — this has to end
So I'm cuttin' that branch off the cherry tree
Singin' this will be my victory
Then I
See them comin' after me
And they're followin me across the sea
And now they're stingin' my friends and my family
And I
I don't know why this is happening
That I'd ruin everything
But I'd rather start a riot
Than help you pull these strings
You told me to kneel
I'll tell the real story
I'm the bird that sings

And now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down
When you find that you've come to the end of your rope
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope
Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from
You've been holding to a noose
So just let go, just let go

Maynard is one unique guy. I’ve met him in person before
