JAD (feat. Chasing Desolation)
Is it too much to ask
For wanting this to be
The last time
The last line in this tragedy
When have we had enough
Of missing the ones we loved
Wishing we could hold them
Once more
It shouldn't be this easy
To fill these caskets
These nihilistic actions
Do we fail in our reactions
Even when children
Drop dead one by one
Is there nothing more
To be done
Peace by peace it's killing me
To concede defeat
Will they take it all away
Can't expect to
Sit back and accept
That it's just another day
It happens almost every day
We dissociate
Or try to normalize the pain
So we don't change
But the truth
Is the most we lose
Are the ones who never
Made it through the night
All those we lose
Who never made the news
Cause they only had
Themselves in their sights
This vile infantry
Bigotry industry
Consistently murdering
Furthering surfacing
Nurturing hate
Leaving dead relatives in their wake
Who will be next
What will it take till it ends
Peace by peace it's killing me
To concede defeat
Will they take it all away
Can't expect to
Sit back and accept
That it's just another day
Are we safe
When someone can be erased
In the blink of an eye
So easy to take a life
Peace by peace it's killing me
To concede defeat
Will they take it all away
Can't expect to
Sit back and accept
That there is no other way
For wanting this to be
The last time
The last line in this tragedy
When have we had enough
Of missing the ones we loved
Wishing we could hold them
Once more
It shouldn't be this easy
To fill these caskets
These nihilistic actions
Do we fail in our reactions
Even when children
Drop dead one by one
Is there nothing more
To be done
Peace by peace it's killing me
To concede defeat
Will they take it all away
Can't expect to
Sit back and accept
That it's just another day
It happens almost every day
We dissociate
Or try to normalize the pain
So we don't change
But the truth
Is the most we lose
Are the ones who never
Made it through the night
All those we lose
Who never made the news
Cause they only had
Themselves in their sights
This vile infantry
Bigotry industry
Consistently murdering
Furthering surfacing
Nurturing hate
Leaving dead relatives in their wake
Who will be next
What will it take till it ends
Peace by peace it's killing me
To concede defeat
Will they take it all away
Can't expect to
Sit back and accept
That it's just another day
Are we safe
When someone can be erased
In the blink of an eye
So easy to take a life
Peace by peace it's killing me
To concede defeat
Will they take it all away
Can't expect to
Sit back and accept
That there is no other way
