Crossbones from Chariot by BT Montrym

When someone tells you who you are,
There’s just two things you can do.
You can stand for the bitter truth,
Or be a crap version of you.
When someone tells you not to run,
It’s ‘cause they already know
That all you wanna do is let
The static crackle on your skin and go.

Raise ‘em up! Raise your voice!
Stare them down and make some noise.
Let’s tie down the flag and hoist.
I’m just glad you’re here by choice.

I always like to move around.
Never seem to settle in.
Forgive me if I can’t believe
That being restless is a sin.
Come on! I think you know, you can’t tell me
That I won’t like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If you cast me out, you can’t complain
When I go so far out I start to think I may not see you again.

Raise ‘em up! Raise your voice!
Stare them down and make some noise.
Let’s tie down the flag and hoist.
I’m just glad you’re here by choice.
Raise ‘em up! Raise ‘em high!
Let our skull and crossbones fly.
People talk. Let ‘em try.
Nothing could sink you and I.

And I’m free… Yeah, I’m free, yeah, I’m free.
Yeah, I’m free, yeah, I’m free, yeah, I’m free.
And I’m free… Yeah, I’m free, yeah, I’m free.
Yeah, I’m free, yeah, I’m free, yeah, I’m free.

Raise ‘em up! Raise your voice!
Stare them down and make some noise.
Let’s tie down the flag and hoist.
I’m just glad you’re here by choice.
Raise ‘em up! Raise ‘em high!
Let our skull and crossbones fly.
People talk. Let ‘em try.
Nothing could sink you and I.
