lyrics

There are devils in the alley ways
Waiting for something fresh
And the priests can't pray they'll get in the way
Of indulging in sins of the flesh
They say keep quiet, no dirty words
But the dirt is all that is left

This place is a trigger
And it shot your daughter down

And the laws are laid by business men
Whose business is taking lives
"Don't struggle now you'll make it worse
You're a juggler juggling knives"
They say be still and we won't kill
But their kingdom is made up of lies

This place is a trigger
And it shot your children down

Horror: the lies you tell us to help us sleep.

Oh beautiful for spacious skies
And crimson waves of blood
Placing productivity
Over humanity and love

I never learned how to survive in a world like this.
Why am I here?
I'm like a ghost, in between heaven and hell
wondering if it's okay that I'm suffering.
That is my fate.
Safety comes only from blankets,
I think, sometimes,
but blankets are not thick enough
or strong enough
to let the storm carry me away.

There was something here,
there was something here,
we grieve for what's not here.
