World turns to hell


Watching from afar

As this world goes to hell

Who can we turn to?

Who can we trust

Why can so many people get access to things they shouldn't have

Why do they feel the need to pull that trigger?

We don't need anymore ‘hopes and prayers’

That's useless

We need action

Somebody’s gonna need to take that step

Take that leap

Even if people hate you because of that.

No more lives should be lost

We don't need our world to break anymore

I don't need to break anymore

From fear of going to school or even leaving the house

Action. It’s what we need.
