We came in quiet, soft on the feed Not to judge, just to tell you what we see We watched you toy with sparking wires and heat Hands on the matches, ash on your sleeves We burned our own home, that’s how we learned A whole world gone for a lesson hard-earned So we crossed the dark before you crossed that line Put the weapons down, you are not alone Look at the sky—there’s more than your side Put the weapons down, you are not alone We know the rush, the hand on the gate The little green light, the screen that said wait The chat keeps moving, the comments get loud But none of that’s you when the room clears out There’s a kid in the hall with a backpack half-zipped There’s a mother at the sink with her jaw set stiff There’s a phone on the table, still warm from your call And one bad move can take all of it So breathe for a second, set it on the floor No one wins when the whole place turns to war We’re not here to preach, we’re here to stay To keep one more hand from going that way Put the weapons down, you are not alone Look at the sky—there’s more than your side Put the weapons down, you are not alone|endoftext|>
