The day no one needed to know

all this time
we wait on this shallow line
for a martyr to save our lives when you can't.
a warning sign
a lack in reaction time
mixed with a war to fight keeps us here.
the tide is in
it's time we all learn to swim
these rooftops won't save our lives and nor did you.
everything's all right.

nothing's ok. we've been lied to. we're so frail
you can pray, scream out his name
while they all keep sinking away.

a hope a cure
reminds me this seems absurd to stay
and find who you swore to save, well you can't
let us in, let us in we can't find shelter in time.
life is all we have.
cause everything's alright. just keep on saying...

nothing's ok. we've been lied to. we're so frail
you can pray, scream out his name
while they all keep sinking.

all this time's gone by, the taste of revenge.
a blood thirsty grin, it's all ok.
nothing's ok.

sing loud - sing louder - sing to feel - sing for everyone
please sing loud - sing louder - sing to heal - sing for everyone

sing for life sing for choices
sing for everyone without voices

sing for...
love - laughter - everyone here and after.
fear - hatred - everyone less than sacred.
life - choices - everyone without voices.
you can pray while they all keep sinking away.

a hero won't come in time. a martyr won't save our lives.
he can't.
