Beyond Grief

Gold line pockets pour the coal
Fill the picket fence with bullet holes
The crown falls short, save our souls
Fill the picket fence with bullet holes, bullet holes

Wake
I wish my words held more weight
Than my shoulders, 'got to be bolder
A fucking world with kids who never grow older

Isn't the violence an outburst of silence?
Underlying what we hold inside?
A problem we can't fix because it's a problem of the people?
Nevertheless, your rights bleed red
It's all in your head, there's nothing under your bed
Gold lined pockets pour the coal
Fill the picket fence with bullet holes

Waking up to the noise on repeat
Of a world that's been made to believe that they're not in control
What if one of the victims was yours?
Would you wake up? Would you wake up then?

Have you had enough?
Or do we need another victim to a gun?
Another family whose broken?
Was it worth it now? Was it worth it now?

You just don't see the light
Clinging to the past's illusion of rights
Stain the walls and stain the roads
Save our souls

A right to live outweighs a right to kill (a right to die)
You've seen the dark, now see the light
A right to live outweighs your right to kill
Clutching at straws, choke on the most bitter bill
Tunnel vision with no hope of an end
A culture of death, born and bred

Have you had enough?
Or do we need another victim to a gun?
Another family whose broken?
Was it worth it now?
Tell me it's not worth it
Just tell me it's not worth it now

Can you feel the emotion now?
Can't you see what we have become?
Can you feel it? What we have become
It's not your life to take
Is this what we have become?
