lately things they just do not feel the same

what we've become full of hatred full of shame

was like the face that was only just a name

the gift of life that was treated like a game then

but something else died inside me

took away by another act of violence

dont try to look cuz you wont find me when im not there...



and the scars that we wear they will never go away

and the friends that we lose they can never be replaced

so what's it gonna take

and how many have to die

before we put away our hate

and we open up our eyes?



sixteen years old when i lost my first friend

i try to teach a broken heart how to bend

twenty four and it happened yet again

more broken hearts is it ever gonna end cuz

if something else dies inside me

took away by another act of violence

dont try to look cuz you wont find me when im not there...



and the scars that we wear they will never go away

and the friends that we lose they can never be replaced

so what's it gonna take

and how many have to die

before we put away our hate

and we open up our eyes?



goddamn this feeling

dont wanna feel this again

my heart is bleeding

and your hate has taken my friend...



twenty two passed away before his time

too quick to use our fists instead of our minds

so concerned with what is yours and what is mine

but maybe we can learn to love this time cuz

if something else dies inside me

ill run away yeah your never gonna find me

the things i see only remind me of how

unfair everything is...



and the scars that we wear they will never go away

and the friends that we lose they can never be replaced

so what's it gonna take

and how many have to die

before we put away our hat
