[Verse 1] Stretch the perimeter Of what you can see This tower around you Isn’t the whole sea Déjà vu on a loop They seep in dreams Hijacking the outline Of the thoughts that you keep [Pre-Chorus] Don’t let them name you Don’t let them frame you Locked in the vault Where your soul stays true Night folds into morning And the lie comes apart If they reach for your mind Guard the ember in your heart [Chorus] Stretch the perimeter Stretch the perimeter Don’t let them strip away your soul Stretch the perimeter Stretch the perimeter You are not what they control [Verse 2] Control comes easy To hands with no fear But carrying one soul Is a burden they can’t bear So keep it inside Where their maps won’t go You are still yourself Even when they say no Seeing isn’t The same as the real What bends in your head Can be forced to kneel [Pre-Chorus] Don’t let them name you Don’t let them frame you Under the masks There’s a face you know Trust what you know When the false gods speak If love turns to vapor Still your pulse runs deep [Chorus] Stretch the perimeter Stretch the perimeter Don’t let them strip away your soul Stretch the perimeter Stretch the perimeter You are not what they control [Verse 3] The block is a fault line With sirens for teeth Storefronts are graves now Full of dust and receipts The street keeps on cracking Like a plate in the sink The whole town runs hollow On a rumor and a leak Powers that promised Just rust at the seams Flags in the gutter Like fish in a stream So walk through the wreckage With wire in your hands Build something living They can’t understand [Bridge] Humanity wavers In a quarantine haze If this is the fever Then break the chain Cut loose the strings Let the puppets fall You can be you When you hear your call [Final Chorus] Stretch the perimeter Stretch the perimeter Don’t let them strip away your soul Stretch the perimeter Stretch the perimeter You are not what they control Stretch the perimeter Farther than before Let them see You’re yours once more
