CUE THE SILENCE
We all watched the numbers plummet
As result of their good intent
Left with only our looming shadows
Will we find the strength to overcome
Struggling to clear my mind
Sirens shatter any tranquility
Mocked up inside
Ash from nearby cities thickens the air
Passion is poison for armchair despair
Hollow eyes centralize around the fire
Criticizing each other's plans of survival
Constant fear becomes sleepless nights
Will we see tomorrow
Will we see the light
Lying underneath fluorescent moonlight
Praying that sunrise saves us all
The ground below will be our makeshift deathbed
Cue the silence, bow your head
Our reckoning
Just run! No time to talk
No destination
No feelings
No thought
The streets are barren
This was our home
Now a reminder of what's to come
Our memories defaced
Friendships replaced
Refusing to change got us here in the first place
It's getting harder to find
The strength that's required for peace of mind
The overwhelming amount
Of reasons to cower
Just keeps on growing
But we despite the setbacks
Will keep piecing ourselves together
We will do whatever it takes
To keep this torch aflame
