Reality Bath

Anxious steps every day through the halls of learning

She's watching every corner, she's praying for a warning

She's just a child of eight years old already scared to die

And no one's done a fucking thing but watch the bullets fly

Our nerves are cobwebbed with the dust of atrocity

The deadly daily spectacle erodes humanity

Jaded and desensitized, a spreading apathy

Fast forgotten thoughts and prayers for numbers on a screen

(For numbers on a screen)

Another massacre, another day gone by

Is this the new abnormal?

Pursuing illusions as we turn a blind eye

This is the new abnormal

Anguished steps through the ashes of a blackened plain

He used to walk the jungle there in perfect harmony

He's an old man of eighty years, last of a different world

Progress has wiped his people out, they never will return

Out of sight, out of our minds, four thousand miles away

Our willful ignorance will turn this home into a grave

The air is getting thinner, our lungs are set ablaze

We've consumed ourselves to death, catastrophe

(More numbers on a screen)

Another massacre, another day gone by

Is this the new abnormal?

Pursuing illusions as we turn a blind eye

This is the new abnormal

Slip so easily into dull indifference

When horror has been normalized, a cynical defense

But I can't sit there silently and watch it all go by

The strongest hearts will raise their voice against the murderous tide

(No!) No! It can't go on like this

Millions of voices echo in the darkness, screaming

No! (No!) I won't accept this

The faint of heart will fall in line but I will not submit

Another massacre, another day gone by

Is this the new abnormal?

Pursuing illusions as we turn a blind eye

This is the new abnormal
