Songbird Lyrics

[Hook: Aer]
Songbird, it's takin’ longer
I see the ego in the people get stronger
Could take a lifetime, to see the right signs
So lets remind every mind were the same
People past the front line, even past the guns drawn
Worries and our failures, everyone is one kind


[Verse 1: Salience]
I see the world through my telescopic lenses
When are people gunna come to their senses

People separated by the side of their fences
Threatening to kill if we get past their defenses
Every issue getting solved through belligerence
And they're caused by the thought of a difference
Solved through shots; proof of our ignorance
Talk it out? We don’t even consider it
And we spend our money fighting in these wars
We got people in the streets, and sleeping on the floor
We could spend on a cause or feeding all the poor but
We spend it all on killing while our people get ignored
Really sad we don’t think of a consequence
How can we justify killing off a populous?
Veterans getting shivers from the thought of it
We figure cause we win, the outcome always positive
[Hook]

[Verse 2: Salience]
Lets stand together for us all
For the people without hope and who are lost
Stand for the unity and fight for the cause
Let 'em know were here and were not gunna fall
Stand for the girls who are always getting judged
Thinking they can't eat if they wanna get some love
Stand for the families that are just making enough
Living in the hoods and hearing all the guns
Stand for the nations that are all across the globe
Tryna live in peace but they can't even hope
Stand for the men who want to get eloped
Living with a love but dependent on a vote
Lets not stand as individuals, stand as a union
Stand if you wanna be part of this movement
Lessen all fighting over all this confusion
Don't stand as races, lets stand as humans

[Hook]

[Bridge: Aer]
You know what's next
We know what's next
So you can count on me
Yeah
