# Stitch the World Apart **[Intro — clean guitar, distant crowd vocals]** This is our city. This is our home. Every street. Every stone. **[Drums explode]** **LET'S GO!** **[Verse 1 — fast pop-punk]** Needle in the red, thread across the floor Patchwork on the ceiling, tearing down the door Grandma had a vision, now we're taking it outside A thousand little pieces and a whole lot of pride Squares on the sidewalk Patterns in the street Every little scrap of cloth Is marching to the beat They said we couldn't do it They said we'd never try So we grabbed another needle— **AND WE AIMED IT AT THE SKY!** **[Pre-Chorus]** Thread by thread! Piece by piece! We're not stopping! **NO RELEASE!** **[CHORUS — HUGE GANG VOCALS]** **WE'RE GONNA STITCH THIS WORLD TOGETHER!** **ONE MORE PATCH, ONE MORE FEATHER!** **RAISE THE NEEDLE!** **PULL THE THREAD!** **MAKE A QUILT OR PAINT IT RED!** **STITCH!** **STITCH!** **STITCH IT UP!** **STITCH!** **STITCH!** **NEVER GIVE UP!** **[Verse 2]** There's a checkerboard across the avenue A floral pattern where the old brick used to be Somebody brought denim, somebody brought lace Somebody's sewing patches on the mayor's face We've got velvet on the overpass Cotton on the train A giant fucking patchwork Covering the rain No designer label No corporate plan Just a bunch of angry people Sewing with their hands! **[Pre-Chorus]** Thread by thread! Piece by piece! We're not stopping! **NO RELEASE!** **[Chorus]** **WE'RE GONNA STITCH THIS WORLD TOGETHER!** **ONE MORE PATCH, ONE MORE FEATHER!** **RAISE THE NEEDLE!** **PULL THE THREAD!** **MAKE A QUILT OR PAINT IT RED!** **STITCH!** **STITCH!** **STITCH IT UP!** **STITCH!** **STITCH!** **NEVER GIVE UP!** **[Bridge — guitars drop out, crowd chant]** WHO OWNS THE FABRIC?! **WE DO!** WHO OWNS THE THREAD?! **WE DO!** WHO OWNS THE NEEDLE?! **WE DO!** **WHO'S GONNA SEW THIS FUCKING CITY?!** **WE DO!** **[BREAKDOWN — ridiculously heavy hardcore]** **PICK IT UP!** *CHUG* **FOLD IT!** *CHUG* **SEW IT!** *CHUG* **PULL IT TIGHT!** *CHUG CHUG* **ONE!** **TWO!** **THREE!** **FOUR!** **QUILT!** **THIS!** **CITY!** **NOW!** **[Final Chorus — full-speed chaos]** **WE'RE GONNA STITCH THIS WORLD TOGETHER!** **ONE MORE PATCH, ONE MORE FEATHER!** **RAISE THE NEEDLE!** **PULL THE THREAD!** **MAKE A QUILT OR PAINT IT RED!** **STITCH!** **STITCH!** **STITCH IT UP!** **STITCH!** **STITCH!** **NEVER GIVE UP!** **[Outro — gang vocals over feedback]** Piece by piece! **THREAD BY THREAD!** Patch by patch! **SEW IT UP!** Piece by piece! **THREAD BY THREAD!** **WE'RE STILL HERE!** **WE'RE STILL SEWING!** **WE'RE STILL LOUD!**
