Lyrics:
Take me out into the darkest night
Shake me up, show me the piercing light
Now say forgive but then mean forget
Don't take these things that heal my regret
Whatever you do, whatever you say
Whatever you think I bet I'll be okay
Whatever you want, whatever you see
I want you to know you won't take this from me
No
I'll never surrender
I promise I won't catch your disease
I'll always remember
The way that you broke a piece of me
You won't take
Take this from me
Like a lion trapped inside his cage
Come and watch me hiding fits of rage
Like a wake I'll mend the peace and trust
Cause I won't break from this bleak disgust
Whoever you are, whoever you prey
Whoever you hurt, I know I’ll be okay
Whoever you want, whoever you see
I want you to know you won't take this from me
No
I'll never surrender
I promise I won't catch your disease
I'll always remember
The way that you broke a piece of me
No
You won’t take
Take this from me
No
[Che Sanchez]
White flag
I would never brag when I get y’all
I exist
Hover in the mist
Never miss thoughts
I am passive
Don't call me bastard
Left my I.D. to the masses to be a master
I'm pissed off by the things I do
Disappear up in the snow like poof!
Can't you see that metaphor is proof?
Going out just like a G so shoot
Like I’m try’na climb
I’m climbin’ right out the roof
Black ops in the black box
After shows we make the world stop
Sit when I'm lost in my own thoughts
Pretty clever
I could write a letter to a weather man
And show a verse to make him change his worth
And play a heart to them
I regret the consequence
I regret the honesty within my music
That could make your council switch their policies
I hope there’s truth in these halls
I hope there’s youth in us all
I'll never surrender
I promise I won't catch your disease
I'll always remember
The way that you broke a piece of me
I'll never surrender
I promise I won't catch your disease
I'll always remember
The way that you broke a piece of me
No
You won't take this from me
No
[Che Sanchez]
I regret the consequence
I regret the honesty within my music
That could make your council switch their policies
I hope there’s truth in these halls
I hope there’s youth in us all
You won't take
Take this from me

Post-punk in the Sonic Youth mold—melody covered by creeping fuzz, anchored by architectural rhythms, with lyrics both abstract and direct. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2019
