The song starts with a fully energized intro and opening chorus (section - with a whisper-like vocal singing), then the music empties up a bit into a broken rhythm and beat with a chant-style low-toned slow vocal that, next, builds back up to the next chorus (section). The chorus in the middle section (before the bridge) is whispered. The higher-toned vocal in the bridge is sung at full speed to the same energized music as in the intro and in each chorus. — influenced by David Bowie, Linkin Park, and Iggy Pop

Stay (single edit)

Rock protest song calling for social reimagining and social justice. 


We're Marching out! (x4)

There's something we must tell you
And you might not agree
But we've taken all the threats that we possibly can
Put down by the powers that be
There are targets drawn upon us
And they're shooting us like skeet
They want to reshape and control us
So we're marching 
down the street.

We're marching out (x4)

They're bringing in the bacon
They're cracking down with zeal
Please tell me I'm mistaken 
Please tell me it's not real.
They're changing our religion 
But we're not dumb like before.
We know you can't fly a pigeon back to 1984

We're marching out (x4)

You all know the story
Democracy has failed
When Big Brother listens into our lives 
we'll be beaten shot or jailed.

We gotta' change the system.
We gotta' change the field'
'cause they wanna' change the way that we live 
and the things we feel.

Hey!

We'll find our way to heaven
Through the good book or the gun.
As they fire down upon us
We won't stop until we've won.

We're marching out! (x4)
