Broken Play (Why?)
This is our show
We're ready to play
The stage is right here
Yet so far below
We dance, we move
We sing the songs
The stunning silence
The crowd was none
I miss you, dad
I miss you, mom
I miss my friends
What's going on?
Why are we here
This timeless place
And you with candles
Praying
Why are you crying again
Down on your knees?
Did the play go wrong?
Didn't you like our songs?
Why is my name
Etched in those stones
With flowers around
And pictures from home?
I heard the news
Some kids unknown
They're coming tomorrow
And more the next month
Why are you crying again?
Get up and fight!
Please, just do what's right
You may save some lives
You say they care
They really don't
We're just the price
They wanna pay
And you keep painting your God
Holding that thing
Pointing at people you love
Aiming at me
Why are you crying again?
Why are you crying again?
Why are we fading away?
We're ready to play
The stage is right here
Yet so far below
We dance, we move
We sing the songs
The stunning silence
The crowd was none
I miss you, dad
I miss you, mom
I miss my friends
What's going on?
Why are we here
This timeless place
And you with candles
Praying
Why are you crying again
Down on your knees?
Did the play go wrong?
Didn't you like our songs?
Why is my name
Etched in those stones
With flowers around
And pictures from home?
I heard the news
Some kids unknown
They're coming tomorrow
And more the next month
Why are you crying again?
Get up and fight!
Please, just do what's right
You may save some lives
You say they care
They really don't
We're just the price
They wanna pay
And you keep painting your God
Holding that thing
Pointing at people you love
Aiming at me
Why are you crying again?
Why are you crying again?
Why are we fading away?
