(Verse 1) I see the shifting in your eyes, a flicker in the light A different voice, a different soul, stepping through the night I don’t need to ask who’s here, or why you’ve gone away I’ve got a seat for every name, and a reason for them to stay. (Pre-Chorus) The walls you built were meant to keep the world from breaking through But we’ve got walls around us too—we’re a crowd just like you You don’t have to bridge the gap or find a way to hide There’s a dozen hearts within us, and they’re all on your side. (Chorus) So let the shadows gather, let the heavy silence fall You don’t have to stand alone against the writing on the wall When the demons that you carry are too loud for you to bear We’ll pick up every sword we have and meet them in the air We’ll fight the ghosts you can’t outrun, the ones you can't defy Because our system loves your system, and we’ll never say goodbye. (Verse 2) Maybe today is quiet, maybe tomorrow is a storm Maybe someone new wakes up, cold and far from warm We’ll learn the maps of every mind, the triggers and the tears We’ll offer up a steady hand to calm the oldest fears. (Bridge) It’s not a burden, it’s a rhythm, it’s the way we’re meant to be A beautiful complexity that only we can see When your front is fading out and the dark starts closing in That’s where our battle for your peace is ready to begin. (Chorus) So let the shadows gather, let the heavy silence fall You don’t have to stand alone against the writing on the wall When the demons that you carry are too loud for you to bear We’ll pick up every sword we have and meet them in the air We’ll fight the ghosts you can’t outrun, the ones you can't defy Because our system loves your system, and we’ll never say goodbye. (Outro) Rest your head, let the others take the wheel We’re standing guard together, through everything you feel In the chaos, in the quiet, in the many and the one We’ll be the light that’s left for you when every fight is done. Our system, for yours. Always.
