Awake

Safety is a myth
Don’t exist in a society where gunshots meet school bells
Every passing day
I hope and pray that there’s a way to put an end to this new hell
Your fingers are green
And there’s blood on the scene
Do you feel bad, do you feel bad, do you feel bad?
The candles are lit
And we’re not gonna quit
Do you feel bad enough to do something?
How many is enough?
How many gone, how many cuffed?
How many incidents of violence til you’re awake?
How many does it take?
How many smiles can you break?
How many minutes of this silence til you’re awake?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Repeat a filthy lie, tell us why this could never be the fault of a weapon
Tell it to the ones who lost a son, who lost a daughter, in a damn millisecond
Your fingers are green
And there’s blood on the scene
Do you feel bad, do you feel bad, do you feel bad?
The candles are lit
And we’re not gonna quit
Do you feel bad enough to do something?
