ICE NINE KILLS
"The People In The Attic"

These are the words that set me free

We are the last of what used to be, every breath, every moment
They're getting closer and closer to me
Stripping my dignity with every brick as it's broken
Stealing hope from my whole family

Lights out

The path that God has lit grows ever darker
But my faith goes further now
I didn't want to be a fucking martyr
But I can't put my pen down

I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion
As my world crumbles down around me
I write the words that set me free

Always glued to the radio, getting lost in the static
As the attic is taking its toll
Can't we all just go? I'm fucking sick of the inside
We're alive yet deprived and alone

Alive yet deprived and alone
But never on our own

I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion
As my world crumbles down around me
I write the words that set me free
These are the words that set me free
These are the words that set me (Free, yeah)

"Good morning, sir, I am Officer Silberbauer of the SS."
"Oh, yeah?"
"You are harboring enemies of the state, are you not?"
"Yes..."
"Take me to them, now."

No

I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion
As my world crumbles down around me
I write the words that set me free
These are the words that set me free
These are the words that set me free
