How's it stand?
What are we?
Let that sand flush my cheeks,
wear me out,
keep me clean,
keep me longing,
keep that quiet company,
wear me out,
I heard a voice telling me,
like your smoke waving,
and my eyes repine,
wear me out
that wick wont burn away,
it's giving uneven rings.
Wear me out,
like a sister haunting absence,
like a sister who's finally had it,
like a room left open just for being kept,
like some lonely facet,
like the promise of a place and knowing you're neither here nor there,
wear me out,
and the tree tops like crooked beliefs,
cross hatch crows feet reaching for the Baltimore heat,
and I repine faster and faster now,
your wick wont burn away.
What are we without regret?
What are we?
Wear me out.
What are we without that end?
Without that death? That darkness?
Wear me out.
There's so many parallels from then until now,
we try to believe,
we keep telling ourselves,
it's a flaw that can't be faked.
I heard a voice passing through,
and I know it's never you,
and I know what I'm looking to find,
and I repine faster and faster now,
your wick wont burn away.

My girl she’s a good one,
she’s always on my mind,
she is a rose and I am a stone,
she’s always poking her head out
and striking a pose,
I’m always plucking her petals,
and some nights we fall out of love,
some nights I sleep in her arms,
some nights I sleep on the couch.
Well I spent that night in our past life,
wringing out the years from our shoes,
in the distance you lived with my signature
penned on a treaty that kept our armies at rest,
but I was a pushy little one,
when you tried to find someone new,
I just kind of waited around for you,
because what else was I suppose to do?
I know where you are heartache exists,
it’s when you are alone and when you’re around me.
I saw it in your face the day we parked your car
on the shoulder by the reservoir,
and in my mouth my words did hide
for fear of being recognized.

We breakdance on broken glass
We haunt these cities with your face as the mask
You’d like to know but you’re too afraid to ask
We’ve taken all your wives and gave your whole town a bath
No reason for treason, we’ll stalk you every season
Your daughters love our style, every slaughter ends with a smile
Your sons look up to us, someday they’ll ride with us
Bottle of rum to match the dust
Our wounds are numb and destructions a must
Split cities in two, and cut your peacock wings
Delivered a spell of lions to feast upon your kings
Oh you’ll know when we’re coming because this is the song we’ll sing

Can’t live today off that minimum wage unless you sleep on the factory floor
If there is anything great left in this sorry state it was built on the backs of the poor
So we buy and we sell for your corporate cartel and we vote when the contestant sings
A mind-control mix for our obedience, strong sleep-aids and hard energy drinks
Cause Freedom is not free
Neither is apathy
“Slay Goliath! Slay Goliath!”
The flashmob all held up their phones
But you cannot predict when the students riot
And a big machine always moves slow
So throw your little stone
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
Expect us
We know what all of us know
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
Expect us
We know what all of us know
A half-dozen cops came to seize a laptop from a sleeping fifteen year old kid
They broke down the door and discovered some more, a hundred million exactly like him
So we do not forgive and we do not forget, we are legion, expect us, you’ll see
The righteous will resist, underfed eat the rich and the data mines finally come clean
Cause Freedom is not free
And neither is secrecy
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
Expect us
We know what all of us know
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
You can’t stop us
We are Anonymous
Expect us
We know what all of us know
We know what Big Brother did
We’re the Tattletale
We’ll see your All-Seeing-Eye in hell
