What About the Children?

We're getting closer to falling off the deep end
Yeah, the bottom
You gotta stall em

Fading voices, adrenaline, and deep rest
Theres the problem
We gotta solve em

Light the fire in my chest
Not one deep breath is gonna follow
Sent the clouds up to my head
Feeling halfway dead
Yeah I know I'm

Not okay
Ya feel it
Wish somebody would fix it
Not a god but, I listen
And I hope you're doing the same when I say this

What about the children
Are you proud of yourself
Just given up on your health like this
Think about the millions
That sit and pray by a shelf
Cause they were begging for help by sin

Shooting blanks into the dark
Yeah you left another scar

And you're fine, well I'm not tonight
I guess this won't be the last time I cry

Enter through the window pane
Cause In this system no one's trying
All the kids are slowly dying

Yeah, hide your self or runaway
I guess the thoughts were undecided
Maybe one day we can feel the same

I'm not okay
Ya feel it
Wish somebody would fix it
Not a God but, I listen
And I hope you're doing the same when I say this

What about the children
Are you proud of yourself
Just given up on your health like this
Think about the millions
That sit and pray by a shelf
Cause they were begging for help by sin

Shooting blanks into the dark
Yeah you left another scar

And you're fine, well I'm not tonight
I guess this won't be the last time I cry

Now I am overwhelmed
At the thought of the loss of these families
Of the future

The leading cause of kids death
Is guns and gun fire

What about the children
Are you proud of yourself
Just given up on your health like this
Think about the millions
That sit and pray by a shelf
Cause they were begging for help by sin

Shooting blanks into the dark
Yeah you left another scar

And you're fine, well I'm not tonight
I guess this won't be the last time I cry
