Mashed
Darkness and light merged into one,
Nothing seems right yet nothing is wrong.
A beautiful sunrise, a brand new day.
The buildings in-front are all bombed away.
The beginning is far, the end is near,
Every body lives in fear.
Today is gone and tomorrow isn’t coming,
Someone catch the knifes we’re throwing.
The children are lying dead in the street,
The guns are looking for fresh, new meat.
Close the curtains, no time for guilt,
Setting fire to houses, watching them melt.
The waves of life are all crashing down,
Lifeless bodies all around.
Why the need for all the violence?
We need a voice to break the silence.
