Safe in this space
From all that I'm seeing
No blood on my hands
Still, my heart is bleeding
Tears flowing freely
Pray I'll never know it
But those seven children
Were not born for the bullet
And I'm feeling guilty
I switch to a story
And turn off the pain from the day
Set down the weight of the world
And just for a moment pretend it's okay
I slam the door when the demons are trying to break through
Turn off the news
And I look at my choices
And I count all my freedoms
Pray for the innocent
Who desperately need 'em
Desensitizing as I'm growing older
Oh, every escape feels like I'm growing colder
And over and over and over and over again
And I'm feeling guilty
I switch to a story
And turn off the pain from the day
Set down the weight of the world
And just for a moment pretend it's okay
I slam the door when the demons are trying to break through
Turn off the news
Turn off the news
Turn off the news
Turn off the news
