[Intro] [Acoustic guitar solo] [Verse 1] These fires, these flames ignite, My city riots through the night, And north there’s this desperate plight, Two parties, worldwide fight. I’m tired, addicted to my phone, Still a kid who is accident prone, I can’t take these battles on my own, But I can’t function ‘till their safety’s known. [Chorus] I thought I could trust in you, To look inside, And see desires behind these eyes. But you just can’t see this through, And so I rage, Three battles but then as we age They’re counting, Yeah they’re counting, Forever counting… [Acoustic guitar solo] [Verse 2] As power hungry demons rise, I battle thoughts that paralyze, Looking out at corrupted skies, Lost within the world’s demise. No peace found in endless news, And you’re writing headlines for the views, Can’t you see I’m just a soul that’s bruised, In this madness where hope is fused. [Chorus] I thought I could trust in you, To look inside, And see desires behind these eyes. But you just can’t see this through, And so I rage, Three battles but then as we age They’re counting, Yeah they’re counting, Forever counting… [Acoustic guitar solo] [Bridge] The city sleeps, while we’re awake, In hopes our ground will never break, And wars and fires won’t tear our hearts again. We aren’t the ones who have the choices, But maybe if you hear our voices, And follow us the world will start to mend. [Chorus] I thought I could trust in you, To look inside, And see desires behind these eyes. But you just can’t see this through, And so I rage, Three battles but then as we age They’re counting, Yeah they’re counting, Forever counting… [Acoustic guitar solo] [Outro] Maybe if you realized, And finally looked inside, We can stop counting, Forever counting. [End]
