Prevent This Tragedy |
| Here we are again with handguns for hearts |
| They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart |
| Nothing to hold, all hope deleted |
| Our demise has been completed now |
| Nowhere left to go but down |
| The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown |
| In oceans of this tragic part of town |
| Where nothing’s heard for miles but the sound |
| Of children wishing they were safely underground |
| We are the walking dead, we hold this ghost in our arms |
| We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky stars |
| Tried to get by on bread and water |
| Craving blood poured from the alter now |
| Not much left to do but drown |
| In flames of miscommunication, down |
| Then out and off in search of someone proud |
| To translate what we truly dream about |
| As we lay in this bed thinking out loud |
| I’m screaming uncle, mercy me And my broken telepathy |
| For I’m left with nothing but this bloodless riverbank |
| West Memphis, please |
| I’m begging you to stop praying for me |
