Happy New Year
Here's to a new year, bringing new cheers!
As the dust from 2018 clears
We stand amongst the rubble of fake dreams and fears
I sit and wonder who is gonna die and why
Will tonight be the last time I close my eyes?
How many celebrities will commit suicide?
How many civilians caught in the crossfire?
How many pedestrians struck by a drunk driver
In a residential area going a hundred and five?
I don't know what it'll take to come out alive
So hold on tight, it's about to be a bumpy ride
Am I making you uncomfortable?
Descriptions of death colorful
Well, that's just wonderful
Can't patch this massive moral cavity
We keep acting so casually
Gradually racking up casualties
When will we have the next tragedy?
