B. Dolan - Memory of Bombs lyrics

[Verse 1:] Nightfall 5:00pm getting dark early time creeps in Lines gets drawn to all them white kids Blow up when the mind sees red Trying to be the next one or call it quits Soldier of fortune a war within On yourself with a costly lib But you are glad that you are dead They also seem so fortunate like Got the keys and the formula Plus they got degrees and the fix is easy You just grind your teeth and ball your fist Recall talk that sh** more time wasted is all it is Wash your face until it force you to drip You can't leave no trace nothing special Sleep all day when you under pressure All these hallways run together In all directions in all directions In all direction all for ever You don't feel that lucky you don't care that much You don't make new friends you don't feel their love You got two AR's and a few hundred rounds And you about to add that to the memory of bombs Buried under this town [Chorus:] Save me can you tell me A reason to be Fearing the shadows And layers a memory of peace [Verse 2:] Sunrise 6:am still hang over rolling out of bed Find your weapon hide your stash Step outside wearing a vest and a badge Step to the cat with an ugly question Use that gat like a tongue depressant The streets breathe thugs that are unrepenting But you're gonna teach these punks a lesson Just came off three months suspension For cracking some heads with a service weapon You told your lieutenant that you felt threatened Meanwhile the child wears no expression He's playing with the a rose he can hold forever And a cross made of gold gave no protection The walls of the home bear a lonely echo A name to remember and a son to let go You don't feel that sorry you don't care that much You can't make new friends you can't feel their love So they say goodbye and they sent you down To be kept with the rest in the memory of bombs Buried under this town [Chorus] [Verse 3:] This is not a place of honor These are our danger markers Don't mistake this grave for a monument Stay clear don't build no argument Buried down there will remain harmful for 10 thousand years Long after we are gone and the threat is active Left a hazard to sleep with dragons as deep as we can fathom Beneath the flooring a lake of poison Beneath that lake lay the bones of warriors Above that strata is today's Tom Sawyer Packing fully automatics in the middle school corridors Cut Back when the true officer k**ed black boys in the heat of august And then leave them in the streets like a piece of garbage The Kids are not alright and they're in the sights of targets Our nights are haunted, their voices call us to recite the chorus Light the torches, ignite the store fronts As part of the earth, now the price of all this The evil's old the evil's timeless the methods are known The aggression and violence they trying contain As best as they hide it, but it's unstable and it goes viral The smoke is rising and we're melting down So get into the basement or under the ground Your life is a second in the memory of bombs Buried under this town [Bridge:] Save me can you tell me A reason to be Fearing the shadows And layers a memory of peace Save me can you tell me A reason to be Fearing the shadows And layers a memory of peace [Chorus]
