Crisis

Do you remember?
Where were you when the embers covered us?
All the lights went out
It’s all over

They won’t find us
Climbing out of the sinking town
Watching the flames dance,
Tonight will end in tragedy
It’s out of our control

Can’t be here
We can’t go home

We were destined to blow up

You cry out and I know
You won’t make it
I need to take you anywhere but here;
Stay awake for me,
I’ll get your blood on ice;
But that look’s screaming “goodbye”
“You have to let me go”

Your tombstone is waiting to be engraved
A suburban tomb
We are fragile, broken remains
I scream from below

A good thing couldn’t be saved
