Under Attack (Crawling)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Today our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate, and deadly, terrorist acts.

The jets, fuelled for cross country flights were filled with tens of thousands of gallons of volitile fuel... they were literally flying bombs.

Oh my god!!

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how i fall

Confusing what is real

A second airplane! a 727 just rammed into the building!

Oh another one just hit, something else just hit, a very large plane (oh my) just flew directly over my building.

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

Consuming/confusing

Make no mistake, the united states will hunt down, and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.

One second after the sound started, there was gray smoke and what looked to be, like confetti flying all over the place...

The enormity of the situation today is just ... well it was just incredible.

This lack of self-control i fear is never ending

Controlling/i can't seem

To find myself again

My walls are closing in

(without a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)

I've felt this way before

So insecure

In a matter of seconds, the skyscraper collapsed... and was gone.

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how i fall

Confusing what is real

Half of the 400 firefighters that first reached the scene, may be dead.

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

10,000 people in each tower would typically be in there on a normal business day, and we get about another 5,000 visitors during the course of the entire day, so by 8.30 - 9.00 o'clock the building should have been full.

Terrorism has been alive and well throughout the rest of the world for a very very long time now, and you can point to as many different places and its come to our shores big time now, we need to understand that.

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me

Distracting/reacting

Against my will i stand beside my own reflection

It's haunting how i can't seem...

To find myself again

My walls are closing in

(without a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)

I've felt this way before

So insecure

This is it, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, no!

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how i fall

Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how i fall

Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

(consuming/confusing what is real

This lack of self-control i fear is never ending

Controlling/confusing what is real) *meanwhile:*

America was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom, and opportunity in the world, and noone will keep that light from shining. this is one of the darkest days in american history, and it's an on-going nightmare but we will get through this, our freedoms will be intact and the spirit of this country will be stronger than ever.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of america. these acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of american resolve. these acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat, but they have failed, our country is strong...
