September 14th - Silverstein

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
