World on Hold

You watched her gasp for breath
Calling her friends so she can say goodbye
Surrounded by the stench of death
Behind your mask no one can see you cry
Give the shovels to the rich
So they can dig the graves of our dead
We've reached a fever pitch
Held together by a thread

We stand united in hopelessness
A world unprepared for this
So far away from everything we knew
All of your greatest nightmares coming true
What will you tell your children
When they ask you how it used to be
Everything is coming undone
A world on hold for eternity

Stuck in a life of dislocation
What else is there to say?
Suffocating in isolation
I drag my ass through another day
I feel so cold inside
In my own home I'm a prisoner
It's like a part of me has died
Saying goodbye to the way we were

If I could turn back time
Stay alive
If I could dry your eyes
Stay inside
If I could catch your pain
Our days are done
If I could breathe again
Gone is the sun
I'd take this all away
To give you a better day
Believe me when I say
It doesn't matter how much you pray
