What About the Children? Lyrics

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
