Breaking news. Same headline. Again. STOP THE LOOP!! Smoke on a screen never reaches my lungs My thumb keeps scrolling, another headline burns I mutter "here we go" and let the coffee go cold The scariest part is how easy this got How many days till the ink on that treaty turns to ash? Count it down, count it down — STOP THE LOOP! Every shot fired pushes tomorrow away STOP THE LOOP! Every righteous cause is another flame Nobody remembers who threw the first stone anyway Break the chain, break the chain, break the chain tonight Hands on the strait, fingers around the whole world's throat Somebody's fury shows up on the price of my bread They mastered the winning, never learned the ending By the time it's history, it's already ash Open your hand and they'll read it as a wound Count it down, count it down — STOP THE LOOP! Where reaching out gets called giving in STOP THE LOOP! Nobody's allowed to leave the table now Just for the sake of not losing, the names keep stacking up Break the chain, break the chain, break the chain tonight Give the revenge a reason. Give it a decent name. The ones who die are always the ones without a name. We are not the audience. There are no empty seats tonight. STOP THE LOOP! Every shot fired pushes tomorrow away STOP THE LOOP! Every righteous cause is another flame Stop counting the first shot — choose the last one instead Break the chain, break the chain, break the chain tonight Don't carry the fire Don't carry the fire Break the chain
