World on Hold

You watched her gasp for breath Calling her friends so she can say goodbye Surrounded by the stench of death Behind your mask no one can see you cry Give the shovels to the rich So they can dig the graves of our dead We've reached a fever pitch Held together by a thread We stand united in hopelessness A world unprepared for this So far away from everything we knew All of your greatest nightmares coming true What will you tell your children When they ask you how it used to be Everything is coming undone A world on hold for eternity Stuck in a life of dislocation What else is there to say? Suffocating in isolation I drag my ass through another day I feel so cold inside In my own home I'm a prisoner It's like a part of me has died Saying goodbye to the way we were If I could turn back time Stay alive If I could dry your eyes Stay inside If I could catch your pain Our days are done If I could breathe again Gone is the sun I'd take this all away To give you a better day Believe me when I say It doesn't matter how much you pray
