Gunflower Seeds Lyrics

The signs were there in the words they said

A day that will be remembered forever

Yet we wonder why

What was it that drove them?

Why can't we answer this?

Was it isolation or mental illness?

No one takes responsibility for themselves

So we keep pointing fingers

Knowing it'll happen again

Sticks and stones may break bones

But words can drive minds

Whose arms raise guns

Thoughts and actions are intertwined

Forever in denial

We pass around the bucket of blame

To fill it up with

It's never us, it's always them

No one takes responsibility for themselves

Vicious circles will be drawn again

When you sow them bullets

Know a massacre is what you'll reap

If you can't raise them properly

They shouldn't be yours to keep

We can't bring back these thirteen

But maybe we can save some more

From ending up like this

Lying cold on the floor

Lose a battle but win the war
