Awake Songtext
von salem ilese

Safety is a myth don′t exist in a society
Where gunshots meet school bells
Every passing day I hope and pray that there's a way
To put an end to this new hell

Your fingers are green and there′s blood on the scene
Do you feel bad? Do you feel bad? Do you feel bad?
The candles are lit and we're not gonna quit
Do you feel bad enough to do something?

How many is enough?
How many gone? How many cuffed?
How many incidents of violence 'til you′re awake?
How many does it take?
How many smiles can you break?
How many minutes of this silence ′til you're awake?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh


Repeat a filthy lie
Tell us why this could never be the fault of a weapon
Tell it to the ones who lost a son
Who lost a daughter, in a damn millisecond

Your fingers are green and there′s blood on the scene
Do you feel bad? Do you feel bad? Do you feel bad?
The candles are lit and we're not gonna quit
Do you feel bad enough to do something?

How many is enough?
How many gone? How many cuffed?
How many incidents of violence ′til you're awake?
How many does it take?
How many smiles can you break?
How many minutes of this silence ′til you're awake?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh

Can't sleep through the sound of a trigger and a round
Can′t sleep through the sound of 17, 17 down
Oh, 17 down


How many is enough?
How many gone? How many cuffed?
How many incidents of violence ′til you're awake?
How many does it take?
How many smiles can you break?
How many minutes of this silence ′til you're awake?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
