Name this band and song?

Born in the flood


bloody fingerpaint sets


blackmarketed fresh


water canons forget me not


epitaph airbrush with death


white tee's


wife beaters


button up


reattach flesh





in between the lines


outside of the law


underneath the veil


we dig our foundations


we navigate the globe


trying to find a pattern to break the mold


with a family to feed


theres nowhere we wont go





but what if were caught


they say I'm a snitch


shot at the check point


found with his throat slit





theres spray paint on the teleprompter


anchorman screams that hes seen a monster


[mayday]


theres bloodstains on his shirt


[mayday]


they say that hes gone berserk





sometimes


when I wanna shut out this world


wanna rip up this page


wanna pour out this heart


wanna get up on this stage


and my lips become percussion


and my fists become the rage


and I pound on this table


til it gives me something to say


then I think about things that Ive seen


right in front of me


that I dont wanna believe


gimme one of these mikes


let me let em know


the way that it is is not how its gonna be


not if we dont let em get ahead of us


the present tensions no threat


its just a fence across the path


that were already ready to walk


rock solid footsteps


letem put up obstacles


and prove that it isnt possible


**** that


we dont give in anyway


true liberty and freedoms at stake


peace will never become pass


live my life until my last day





it was half-past eight in the bat cave


when the cracks in the plaster collapsed


and gave way to gaps in the pavement


mayday mayday


put it on blast


for the passengers and messengers


cause this is a disaster


where the **** are the rescue workers


not far


off pissing on a cop car


in the hall with a poptart


sipping liquor in the rockbar


everyone climb to the frontline


lunchtimes cancelled


all hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill


onlookers passers-by brush of your shoulders


shake off that rubble


break free from your standstill





signs of a better world


causes we understand


failures we expected to occur


and bring redemption for our sins


safety from the crowds


in the shadows on the run


we write our own cider house


rules to keep alive


rituals that prove their worth


search for systems we can trust


rhythms we can lock into





this is madness salvage teams


can't bandage


hope when its damaged


or broken compassion


not enough rope in the van when


world is collapsing


our mode of action


broadcast through the glass


all we can manage


donate with the plastic


scraps from the salad


hoping to balance


emotions invalidated


and staged on 4:3 aspects


just ballast for sadness


lives shattered are standard


fare for cameras and channels


stare no abracabras





no faster answers


or mantras for disasters


remastered and plastered


we got it all backwards


do you know the faction your backing


its another man down


another mother gone


child drowned


another silenced song


solitude


another kind of strong


I miss you


another strung along


missing in action


another page is blackend burned


turned to ashes to ashes


dust off the flags and the caskets





we will never find another you


despite the life of love we knew


these lightning times are trouble who


cant count the strikes that punished through


the bonds we thought would never break


and never will and never change and never fade


but there is the rage


of losing you to their mistakes





in between the lines


signs of a the next movement


refuge from the crowd


outside of the law


causes we understand


hands that trace


instructions for descendants in the


shadows on the run


underneath the veil


failures we expected to


occur and bring redemption for our sins


in between the lines

Reply:Its a bit long and depressing.


I think that you were looking for the answer "I don't know but its good" so that you could say "its mine".


Find it hard to believe that you know all those words but nothing about it.
