lyrics

With hoops of gold and gilded light
I invoke the spirits of the night
Feel this heat on these dirty dark streets
Flickering flames, we both feel this pain

Stiletto heels and sequined skies
lets burn a hole so deep, so bright
these heavy secrets we'll let go tonight
We'll refuse to run, We'll refuse to die

you know youve gotta let me know
cuz if you ask me then ill show

this is the sounds sound anyway

Have you ever wondered what would happen if one day/everyone just refused?
These rotten thrones arent worth the oak from which theyre made/lets build a fire put them to use.

We dont know, but if we want to, well know.

And when we pull ourselves up from hell, will they see us together, never to be pulled apart?
No we cant be pulled apart.

Light a match and watch the fire spark and then well know
open the floodgates watch the waterfall and then well know
clear the ground and feel the earth shake and then well know
open the window feel the air stream and then well know

This is the sound of my hands shaking
This is the sound of our hearts changing
This is the sound of our minds waking
This is the sound of my body quaking

This is my body, this is my power
its thin, its thin, this second skin
This is my body, this is my power
its breaking through, its breaking in
