Lyrics Strike Anywhere

Strike Anywhere

Iron Trees

To glitter

Like cities

breathing below

while lights mark time

in the lowest room

outside

the white man's death

in the hands of violence

are choking our breath

in the prison parks

our righteousness

contains the litter

that we kill in contempt of

ourselves

We followed these streets

through the city's red lights

Underneath these iron trees

On rooftops worth burning

whispers to prayers

in these strange futures

know your rights

We kill in contempt of kindness

extricate or obliterate me

don't let it get so far away

don't settle

for justice punch it through the screen

and every dead commercial in between

calls you to be captured

to write you down

We followed these streets

into the city's red lights

Underneath these iron trees

On rooftops worth burning

whispers to prayers

in these strange futures

know your rights

don't settle for justice

punch it through the screen

and every dead commercial in between

calls you, calls you to be captured

to write you

to write you in

We followed these streets

through the city's red lights

Underneath these iron trees

On rooftops worth burning

whispers to prayers

in these strange futures

know your rights
