Paramedic

It seems like only yesterday
We found ourselves alone
With no one to protect us
Don't tell us that you didn't know
The photographs would show
The desolation of our homes
It never was enough for you
You take and you take
But it was hell you gave back to us

We've learned our lessons well
We'll take our desperate times
And enter desperate measures
When everything you have is gone
The only thing you want retaliation for the loss
It never was enough for you
The blood and the pride
Will only bring us more burials

Please, please call for help
We need a paramedic on the scene, now
Or will you run, to save yourself
And just leave me here until I bleed out

I should have seen this coming
How was I supposed to know
That you would abandon me
A cold and empty feeling
From a heart that turned to stone
I hope it was enough for you
We wait and we wait but you never came back for us

Please, please call for help
We need a paramedic on the scene, now
Or will you run, to save yourself
And just leave me here until I bleed out

Surrounded by TV screens
And visions of an empty dream
Paralyzed by belief
And all we take for granted
I need to know
What happened to my life, my love, my hope

Please, please call for help
We need a paramedic on the scene, now
Or will you run, to save yourself
And just leave me here
Leave me here until I bleed out
We need a paramedic on the scene now
We need a paramedic on the scene now
