Backfire Lyrics
Witness the blind now leading the enraged
Losing our sight, we've lost our way
We find ourselves welcoming moral decay
We have lost our way
Entombed by deception
We find lies where there is nothing but truth
We find lies
Thoughts of conceding are wasted on our youth
You cry deceit and you never, never surrender
While refusing to wave the flags of defеat
Stoke fires, and fire up thosе who are looking for a leader
Accepting a loss won't be the end
You can always get back up and fight again
It's hard to accept that your theories are just fallacies
The downtrodden are feeling trampled
Stockholm syndrome has afflicted the masses
Enamored with those who always kept them in shambles
My suffering is not your fault
Your victories, they are your own
Losing our sight, we've lost our way
We find ourselves welcoming moral decay
We have lost our way
Entombed by deception
We find lies where there is nothing but truth
We find lies
Thoughts of conceding are wasted on our youth
You cry deceit and you never, never surrender
While refusing to wave the flags of defеat
Stoke fires, and fire up thosе who are looking for a leader
Accepting a loss won't be the end
You can always get back up and fight again
It's hard to accept that your theories are just fallacies
The downtrodden are feeling trampled
Stockholm syndrome has afflicted the masses
Enamored with those who always kept them in shambles
My suffering is not your fault
Your victories, they are your own
How did we get here
To a place where we blame
We blame those we've never met for our misfortune
How did we get here
There are signs everywhere
All of you are asleep
We need to wake up
We need to wake up
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
To a place where we blame
We blame those we've never met for our misfortune
How did we get here
There are signs everywhere
All of you are asleep
We need to wake up
We need to wake up
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire

What did August Burns Red say about "Backfire"?
Genius Answer
JB Brubaker:
Dustin wrote this one, and it’s our second single. I really love how it flows out of the track before it. This is a super metal track; it’s really heavy. I don’t ever want to call us death metal or deathcore, but the song borders on that at times with the way Jake delivers some of the vocals — and some of the breakdowns in the middle. But what I really love about this song is the last minute and a half, where we shift into this black metal section where our drummer Matt is blasting for a minute straight, and then it goes into this huge, anthemic breakdown.
