Stop While We Can
Ryan Egan
Life left on the pavement
You can hardly see it
Mother’s in the basement
When you called her weeping
All for what
Bodies drippin’ blood
Buried in the mud
Living through this moment
But we’re barely breathing
The middle of the ocean
You can rarely see it
All we loved
Promises undone
Killers on the run
Don’t look back in time
No it’s useless to rewind
Let’s just stop while we
Stop while we
Stop while we can
Do it just to try
You could view it through their eyes
And let’s stop while we
Stop while we
Stop while we can
Do we learn to dream
Living eternal mourning?
Do we disappear
Without a call or warning?
Who will earn their keep
Within these streets left burning?
Shoot a man for sleeping
‘Cause the world stopped turning
Overcome
Somewhere there’s an answer
But do we take our chances?
All we want
Weathering this anger
Setting down an anchor
