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!
