Lyrics
(intro)
"here's a job right here, twenty percent" /
"oh you got the job?" /
"that's right" /
"get the f*** outta here br-" /
"oh" /
"what you gon' do, what the f*** you gon' do frank? huh? you gon' shoot me, in front of everybody? huh?!" /
"come on" /
(hook)
in the wake of disaster, in the wake of calamity /
praying to the master, begging on my knees /
my eyes form a raster, thinking are we guilty /
shouting i will laster, crying lives on gurneys /
take this pain, take this pain, take this pain /
i just want my life back again /
take this pain, take this pain, take this pain /
God we want you back again /
(verse 1)
in this time of need, on our knees we bleed /
begging as we plead, do we plant a seed /
let us grow not recede, unground lying buried /
burrowing down deep, under rubbled prison indeed /
items we so love, above our heads flying /
our lives suddenly unplug, lightening comes out bolting /
flashing crashing as we breakup, thinking are we dying /
God send down a dove, let peace come we are mourning /
i am here, you are there, watching the news, do people care /
tornados touch down outta thin air, we defuse from nowhere /
schools gone a nightmare rubble like a snare statues we shatter like glassware /
reality is now elsewhere mind imPAIRed transfuse back to coHEIRity /
now I'm back on my knees, through whats left of a house digging deep /
this is now my reality indeed i feel if now i cannot succeed /
asking God why'd this happen to me, I'm not trying to just be pitted /
this is our call for help i concede, please come to aid at Godspeed /
(hook)
in the wake of disaster, in the wake of calamity /
praying to the master, begging on my knees /
my eyes form a raster, thinking are we guilty /
shouting i will laster, crying lives on gurneys /
take this pain, take this pain, take this pain /
i just want my life back again /
take this pain, take this pain, take this pain /
God we want you back again /
(verse 2)
this message is like a letter, each word written dearly /
elementary, we sit here, lives normal a storm could be miles away killing /
schools gone this is the header, my fatigue increasingly weary /
scenery, painted so my visions blear, so i do my best to see keenly, veiling /
the storm's mist blocked by crumble, in the distance you hear the thunder /
watch the words for the symbol, it rolls we are suddenly at surrender /
palms sweaty, hands shaking, tremble, ears perking, sounds become louder /
the black sky, grey clouds, grumble, high winds, shrieking silence, wonder /
one point three miles wide this was from an ef-5 /
tornadoes one in a thousand worldwide papers and news thrive /
words spread we aren't set aside a town shattered will revive /
flat lined yet still supplied the drug infusion to be kept alive /
gunshots at the begging of this track, the lyrics could be about that /
or maybe the sex heard in the back, instead i needed meaning so that was retract-ed /
don't go on the access get sidetrack-ed, we add, multiply, not divide or subtract /
a people whole, pitch-black, we cry, pain's felt, we are ready for this combat /
(hook)
in the wake of disaster, in the wake of calamity /
praying to the master, begging on my knees /
my eyes form a raster, thinking are we guilty /
shouting i will laster, crying lives on gurneys /
take this pain, take this pain, take this pain /
i just want my life back again /
take this pain, take this pain, take this pain /
God we want you back again /
