This Is Giving Up

What have we become? It hits like a shotgun blast under the still-rising sun These corners once preyed on by the powers-that-be Have fallen victim to a clean sweep Get ready to hang your head in shame When you're greeted by the new face Of hope and fear So lay your fingers down on the concrete and watch as they bleed And listen to everyone scream out! We have become! What we were always running from These bloodshot eyes open to a room on fire And I'm the only one... Holding a match This doesn't feel much like a dream I know that life changes Does it change this quickly? And your expectations could be met with tragedy I know it doesn't seem this way Just try not to believe You and I You and I We couldn't change the world if we tried We might as well watch it all fall You and I You and I We couldn't save the world if we tried We might as well watchi it all fall in front of our eyes This is giving up!
