how many enemies can one friend convert
stickin’ stones in the ground
laid to rest in the dirt
tired of trying to defy what is right
too many enemies to fall asleep at night
it ain’t fair
so lay down and lay awake
just accept
this is every fucking day

so silence yourself
keep the violence to a dull hum
before someone
thinks to fight back
you couldn’t last a second
without a moment to react
down for the count
knocked fucking out
ready to be buried and left

stand alone in the cold
feel the warmth in knowing you’re alone
but you’re not the only one
left without someone
to keep them safe

I stand alone in the cold
feel it biting at my soul
but I won’t let it inside
cause I’m still fucking alive
