Devils

And they look like
Devils in the daylight
Meaner than a dog fight
With wolves who try to win
And those calloused
Souls of blood and numbers
Count beneath the thunder
'Til lightning strikes again
Then they tell us
How they're gonna kill us
Burn another village
Collect women and children
At least we all know
How we're gonna die here
Standing side by side, fear
Burning in our eyes

In time
We die
So live on
Just try
To find love
In the loss

Just distract us
Wrap our minds in plastic
Find the next disaster
Pry open our eyes
Under dark clouds
Tell us who to hate now
Televise the fallout
Bury us in white
Sycophantic
Phantoms singing anthems
Holding up their hands, faith,
Stolen from the rain
Blur our vision
Focus on an image
Find what's been forgiven
Dredge it up again for pain

In time
We die
So live on
Just try
To find love
In the loss
