Traceless - What Will It Take

They'll leave you in the dark
When the lights go out
They'll leave you in the ground
When it all goes down
Funny how the ones who are meant to save us
Become the ones from which we have to save ourselves

They never gave a fuck about
The rest of us
They'd rather make a profit
Off the injustice
The silence is more deafening than ever
When everybody else is screaming so damn loud

Will we ever be okay
Will we always live in fear
Knowing one day we'll all disappear
Will we ever find a way
To feel safe, to escape
What will it take for a change to be made

So tell me what'll it take

They steal the wealth that we earn for ourselves
Imprison us inside of cells that we built
Now come on people
This ain't freedom
No, this is treason
Fingers up saying
Fuck that, fuck you
We won't be ignored
Won't rest until the balance has been restored
'Cuz let's just face it
We've been complacent
But we're not powerless anymore

What'll it take to finally face our fears
What'll it take to wipe away the tears
What'll it take for us to realize
The power that we hold over our own lives
They can try to say the blame's on us
They can lie, but it's so obvious
They're scared of us
And what we could be
And yeah, they should be
Let's make 'em believe

Will we ever be okay
Will we always live in fear
Knowing one day we'll all disappear
Will we ever find a way
To feel safe, to escape
What will it take for a change to be made
