Tragedy
If Not For Me
We were born into tragedy
We prey among the shadows
Grinding our bones to feed
Adorned by paper statues
Telling us what we should be
Build us up
Break us down
But you can't
Drown us out
Burn it all to the ground
We're all martyrs of misery
We didn't ask to be
Living proof of a dying dream
Wave goodbye to your empathy
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy
You dug the empty trenches
The hallowed ground we pace
You lay your broken crosses
At the foot of all our graves
Break us down
No, you can't
Drown us out
Take whatever holds you down
And burn it to the fucking ground
We're all martyrs of misery
We didn't ask to be
Living proof of a dying dream
Wave goodbye to your empathy
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy
Growing louder than ever before
We'll be the salt of the earth
Breaking down your door
Crashing down around you
Nothing to slow our fall
You hide behind your walls so thick
You hear nothing at all
Watch us burn on your TV screen
From the comfort of your home
Hear our cries for humanity
And dismiss them as you've always done
We're all martyrs of misery
We didn't ask to be
Living proof of a dying dream
Wave goodbye to your empathy
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy
We prey among the shadows
Grinding our bones to feed
Adorned by paper statues
Telling us what we should be
Wave goodbye to your empathy
All burned in effigy
We were born into tragedy
