Selling The Drama
Live Lyrics

And to love a god
To have faith and believe in a higher power

And to fear a flame
To be wary of dangers and potential harm

And to burn a crowd that has a name
To rebel against conformity and refuse to follow the crowd

And to right or wrong
To take responsibility for one's actions and make choices

And to meek or strong
To acknowledge and accept vulnerability while also showing strength

It is known just scream it from the wall
To express one's beliefs loudly and publicly

I've willed, I've walked, I've read
To have engaged in self-improvement, education and self-reflection

I've talked, I know, I know,
To have gained knowledge and experience through conversations and sharing ideas

I've been here before, yeah
To have gone through similar experiences in the past

Now we won't be raped, hey
To refuse to be taken advantage of or mistreated

Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
To reject past trauma and refuse to let it affect one's current state

It's the sun that burns
To recognize that nature and the elements can be both beautiful and destructive

It's the wheel that turns
To acknowledge that change is constant and everything is cyclical

It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
To inspire others through the power of music and art

And to Christ, a cross
To acknowledge the sacrifice and teachings of Jesus Christ

And to me a chair
To create a comfortable and safe space for oneself

I will sit and earn the ransom from up here
To observe from a place of security and power and use it to one's advantage

And to burn, a love that has a name
To express intense passion and emotion

Hey hey na nana
A chant for unity and solidarity

(Hoo hoo) we won't be scarred like that
To strive towards healing and not let past pain define oneself
