Hardened Tears

Tears, these hardened tears
To be ignored and forgotten, to be swallowed and lost in
These tears, these hardened tears

How many more? How many names?
How many bullets till someone stands up in the way for all
These tears, these hardened tears


Shocked, I’m shell-shocked
You can’t stomach the things you’ve seen in this daily routine of
Shock, this shell shock

No one is safe here, no one is immune
Time’s not a healer if time’s a bleeding wound
In shock, I’m shell shock

Bang bang, the dream is dead, the hardened tears, the bullets shed,
It all seems to fall on deaf ears
Bang bang, time again, it’s not if, just a matter when
Tears turn to bullets and bullets turn to tears
Tears turn to bullets and bullets turn to tears
You can’t make sense of the senseless or find faith to persevere
These tears, these hardened tears


Tick Tock, tick tock
It’s insane to do nothing and expect some sort change
The clock is ticking, tick tock

Is anybody listening? Is there anybody there?
Behind all the scripted words in the thoughtless thought and prayers
The clock is ticking, tick tock

Bang bang, the dream is dead, the hardened tears, the bullets shed,
It all seems to fall on deaf ears
Bang bang, time again, it’s not if, just a matter when
Tears turn to bullets and bullets turn to tears
Tears turn to bullets and bullets turn to tears
You can’t make sense of the senseless or find faith to persevere
These tears, these hardened tears
