All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid
Have made their way here instead
Before the riot
As the days ahead become behind
Replace the tape as we rewind
Before the riot
Tell me all your secrets
Say it slowly and clear so you dont have to speak twice
And if theres things that Im afraid to know
I should have learnd them years ago
Before the riot
I dont believe were hopeless as we fear
Or as good as we appear
Before the riot
I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes
Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies
Before the riot
Think of what were missing
Well take that thought and put it out of your head
And if we can stop a restless night
Wont give up without a fight
Before the riot
I can feel the time is coming
Sure its coming soon
Do what we do, hiding out from view
Sure its coming
Say the worst should happen
Would we plan for that even if we could?
And if we can stop a restless night
Wont give up without a fight
Before the riot
Here it comes
Before the riot
