We kick and we scream,
But that doesn't make the air in our lungs any more abundant.
It doesn't secure our existence,
And it sure as hell doesn't mean a thing to these waters, tearing us apart.
All we had to do was stand up.
We kick and we scream but that's not going to save us now,
And that's not going to put the flesh back on our bones.
All we had to do was stand up.
