I can’t watch the news these days
So many names
That I’ll forget
Going up in flames
Look there’s another one dead

And I’m too scared to step
Foot outside
I’m scared to join the ranks
Afraid that I might die

What if I want to live
What if I chose not to give in
What if I
Finally
Found my reason
To stay
You know I cried
My god, I almost prayed

I used to be oblivious
I never thought it’d get this bad
I never thought I’d scar this much
And I still don’t understand

How am I supposed to get
Out of my head
How am I supposed to pretend
It never happened
How am I supposed to move on
Step out and face the sun

What if I want to live
What if I chose not to give in
What if I finally
Found my reason
To stay
But now I’m not okay
My god I almost prayed
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
