September 14th

It makes me want to scream in rage
A moment hung for every person of age
Their fate encapsulated in plastic pills
No relief, no peace
As my karma sits in the backseat waiting for me to see
If this world will leave me behind or set me free

It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening
You’ve stolen tomorrow

And everyone is dead to me
I’m on a different plane or planet in space
I can’t face the thought of never seeing this place
I plead, I can’t breathe
As I hear it blast through the speakers loud as can be
I’m sorry, I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this tragedy

It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening
This can’t be happening
You’ve stolen tomorrow

I never asked for this
To only exist
As a number in your lottery
You don’t own me just because
I came to be
On September 14th
You don’t know me

It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening

It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening
This can’t be happening
(This can't be...)
This can’t be happening
You’ve stolen tomorrow
