Some things they just never seem close
To even hear the sound of the sirens
Even when the tragedy comes
It happens so fast it makes you lose your breath
Forever sleep, it lives in our dreams
So close, this mess
This is our crisis!
Why do we see what we want to see?
Why can't we believe this is really happening?
Till we're on our knees the burden's crippling
Then we can see the destruction
That lies right here in every man's way
Some things they just never seem real
To even feel the shock of a car crash
Even when the tragedy comes
It hits you so fast, it lays you down to rest
Forever sleep
So young, hopes and dreams
So close, this mess
This is our crisis!
This is our crisis!
