i can see it
weighing down on my friends and my family
unity is the weapon of masses against adversity
i may be a writer by nature
(the anxious terror of murder by circumstance)
but i've been left blank by all of this
(is more than enough to strike me dead)
we're growing older and at last we've cracked the sound
the barriers that held us once are nowhere to be found
we bottle up our anguish and with every step we take
and everything we have become is everything awake
and we've seen so many friends in pain
we lean on each other for guidance
family's not given, it's found
found in the bonds we're building
speaking on the harm we're healing from
from pages to anguish
to breakdowns to dreams
to psychos to leaving
to her and me
to bullets to earth
to the quarantine
we're left with only sadness
but i swear we've been set free
