about

Inspired by the cases of our brothers and sisters getting treated like target practice for 12. There was a tweet that to this day still fucks me up about a mother watching the news and her young kid telling her that everything'll be fine as long as they never go outside.

That. Is. Sad.
--------
Have you ever stared deep into a father's face/When they seeing they own blood dug in a grave/If you look hard enough then you will understand/What it means to face the soul of a broken man/Like one said things are never quite what they seem/That's why I been looking and searching for this so called dream/In a place where dark faces are only deemed/Important when in the process spitting 16s/Lesson learned in this messed up society/Dont ever let em know you have humanity/Everyday brings another casualty/As the parents see in front of they TV screen/Another body on the ground that's resembling/Their little boy who's watching the same thing/He turns to look in their eyes as they dont blink/Only thing he could say to them was sing

Hook: Everything will be fine/We'll be alright/Struggle and strive/Yes we will be alright/So please don't cry/Just sleep tight

Post-Hook: Everything will be alright/Dont you worry/Dont you cry (repeat)
It's the darkest before the light
At least that's what I tell myself (2x)
To keep up with my mental health
It's what I gotta tell myself
