alive
and right before your eyes
it's easy to think twice
a choice can change your life
angry fists
angry eyes
thought you'd take them by surprise
and unleash all your demons upon them
with your guns
and your knives
left them fighting to survive
you're the villain
but you play the victim
never took no advice
did you ever realize
that your violence had taken your virtue?
well
you can't wash away
the mistakes of yesterday
when the boys wearing blue
come to greet you. and i can hear the sirens still calling your name
and i can see the ashes rise up from the flames
when love was still around
when love was still around
one day before it all came crashing down
did you stop and regret
when the voice inside your head
got so quiet
that you'd hear a pin drop?
did you still like the view
when the guns were aimed at you
screaming
out of the house with your hands up!"?
