Bang bang go the coffin nails
Like a breath exhaled then gone forever
It seems like just yesterday
How did I miss the red flags raise?

Think back to the days we laughed
We braved these bitter storms together
Brought to his knees he cried
But on his feet he died

What God would damn a heart?
And what God drove us apart?
What God could

Make it stop, let this end
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
It's come to this, a weightless step
On the way down singing

Bang bang from the closet walls
The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun's loaded
Push me and I'll push back
I'm done asking, I demand

From a nation under God
I feel it's love like a cattle prod
Born free, but still they hate
Born me, no I can't change

It's always darkest just before the dawn.
So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong.

Make it stop, let this end
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
It's come to this, a weightless step
On the way down singing

The cold river washed him away but how could we forget
The gatherings hold candles but not their tongues
And too much blood has flown from the wrists
Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss
Who will rise to stop the blood

We're calling for insisting on
A different beat, yeah a brand new song

Make it stop, let this end
This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin
But proud I stand of who I am
I plan to go on living

Make it stop, let this end
All these years pushed to the ledge
But proud I stand of who I am
I plan to go on living
