lyrics

how many bodies down?
 22 left above the ground 
and I can’t see what sense this killing makes
  been trapped behind those doors
 no one knows what, why or for
 but we know we’re sick of living with this pain   
she screams, why cant you just let me be  
she’s sick of living with this hate 
and after all of this, what’s left to be afraid of
  keep it inside, there’s no where to hide 
that’s where it lies, just waiting to be free 
keep it inside, there’s no where to hide
 bet you thought you’d never see, this monster inside of me  
how many bodies down? 30 more left above the ground  and I can’ t see what sense this killing makes
  how many lies were told 
your silver tongue has taken hold 
and there’s no way to cover up this mess you’ve made
  he screams, where’s God when all that we see
 is death upon our streets 
and after all of this, what’s left to be afraid of
