Setmeonfire - Patterns Lyrics

Reoccurring patterns on my screen and the stories they tell
Serve only to remind me why you can't help the ones who won't help themselves
Reoccurring visions like a window into hell
Empty shells and the ghost white sheets where the bodies fell
And I'm asking myself why?
Is the payoff worth the price?
Is the novelty worth their lives?
How many more do we sacrifice for your wrongs?
For your rights?
How can you be so blind?
Watch as the world despairs
Tell me are you beyond repair?
Justify your rights as you watch them die
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
In the land of the free where it's run, take cover or try to flee
Keep your head down
You despair
Tell me are you beyond repair?
Is the payoff worth the price?
Is the novelty worth their lives?
Justify your rights as you fight to watch them die
How can you be so blind?
Tell me how many more do we sacrifice?
For your wrongs and for your rights?
And I'm asking myself why
You're hit and bleeding and you can't see it
So sick of grieving I can't believe it
Just want you to be ok, your children safe
You say you will never change
Lost forever in the error of your ways
You got a problem and it's only getting bigger
Watch the body count rise with every squeeze of the trigger
But I guess money talks and morality walks, who'd have thought? Go figure
Can you feel the size of the hole in your body as your soul leaves
No need to plead the deed is done the reaper won and now you're coming undone
I hope the guilt weighs a f*cking tonne
And you're crushed by the gravity of the depravity of what you've done
It's never too late to right your wrongs
Leave them in the past where this shit belongs
Before it's too late and you're at the gates
'Cause you let fate take you away with a
