Militant by Mothjaw Lyrics

I sit remembering the broken glass stares
Shattered teeth spit onto mirrors
Cutting lines of bone and tears
Dissolving into despair

Superficial agonized sympathy falls from up high
Like acid rain onto my face
Melting fear to rage

Transforming the pain
Everything old will be swept away
Nothing gold can stay

We don't know how this story will end
But there will be violence
The empire crumbles to dust
In deafening silence

We are militant
And we're fucking loving it
These streets will bleed
Pulling stones like rotten teeth
Violence reigns supreme
Torn down from walls like posters
Mould covers wrinkled skin
You can't fuck with us anymore
We are militant

Building barricades on every corner
Bloody knuckles grasp through shaking hands
We are militant
Betrayed from innocence
When every inch is spent on the bitterness

Violence reigns supreme
Violence reigns supreme
Violence reigns supreme
We are militant, again

Gutter youth revolutionaries
Bloom through cracked skin and hungry eyes
Atrophied to complete the painting of our miserable lives

Violence reigns supreme
I sit remembering the broken glass stares
Shattered teeth spit onto mirrors
Cutting lines of bone and tears
Dissolving into despair
These streets will bleed
Pulling stones like rotten teeth
Violence reigns supreme
These streets will bleed
Pulling stones like rotten teeth
Violence reigns supreme
