Lyrics:

All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid,
Have made their way here instead, before the riot,
As the days ahead become behind,
Replace the tape as we rewind, before the riot.

Tell me all your secrets,
Say it slowly and clear so you don't have to speak twice.

And if there's things that I'm afraid to know,
I should have learnd them years ago, before the riot.

I don't believe we're hopeless as we fear,
Or as good as we appear, before the riot,
I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes,
Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies, before the riot.

Think of what we're missing,
Well take that thought and put it out of your head.

And if we can stop a restless night,
Won't give up without a fight, before the riot.

I can feel the time is coming, sure it's coming soon
Do what we do, hiding out from view, Sure it's coming,
Say the worst should happen,
Would we plan for that, even if we could ____
And if we can stop a restless night,
Won't give up without a fight, before the riot,
Here it comes, before the riot.
