Away From Here
Double homicide
My cousin and his son died
Two more dropped when his other son replied
A vicious cycle that remains
Repeating death and pain
Worthless spoils of a senseless game
How do I wrap my mind around
Something so mindlessly profound
Don't bury me in this tainted ground
Burn my bones into an ashy waste
Pray for my soul as I disintegrate
But don't you dare shed a tear for me
Any place from here is a better place to be
I've never known a week
Without a victim dying in the streets
I've seen years but I've never seen peace
Every day the war goes on
And it's not in a foreign zone
The battlefield is ten feet from home
My brain can't fully reconcile
Rapid shots fired into a crowd
The trigger squeezed by a little child
Burn my bones into an ashy waste
Pray for my soul as I disintegrate
And don't you dare shed a single tear
Know that I'm happy being away from here
Heinous crimes on the news
All the murder comes in two's
Police and the Mayor can't stop this Memphis blues
The simplest thing you say
Can get your house sprayed
Death of an innocent kid is the price paid
His was young and he was awesome
Slept in his bed and it cost him
He relate to who you hate
And that's the only reason you offed him
Just burn my bones into an ashy waste
Pray for my soul as I disintegrate
But don't you dare shed one single tear
Know that I'm happy being away from here
There has to be another world that's better than this
My cousin and his son died
Two more dropped when his other son replied
A vicious cycle that remains
Repeating death and pain
Worthless spoils of a senseless game
How do I wrap my mind around
Something so mindlessly profound
Don't bury me in this tainted ground
Burn my bones into an ashy waste
Pray for my soul as I disintegrate
But don't you dare shed a tear for me
Any place from here is a better place to be
I've never known a week
Without a victim dying in the streets
I've seen years but I've never seen peace
Every day the war goes on
And it's not in a foreign zone
The battlefield is ten feet from home
My brain can't fully reconcile
Rapid shots fired into a crowd
The trigger squeezed by a little child
Burn my bones into an ashy waste
Pray for my soul as I disintegrate
And don't you dare shed a single tear
Know that I'm happy being away from here
Heinous crimes on the news
All the murder comes in two's
Police and the Mayor can't stop this Memphis blues
The simplest thing you say
Can get your house sprayed
Death of an innocent kid is the price paid
His was young and he was awesome
Slept in his bed and it cost him
He relate to who you hate
And that's the only reason you offed him
Just burn my bones into an ashy waste
Pray for my soul as I disintegrate
But don't you dare shed one single tear
Know that I'm happy being away from here
There has to be another world that's better than this
