All These Lives

Doesn't come down when she calls, "It's time for breakfast"

Momma can't get down those halls fast enough to see

Glass is sprayed across the floor from the broken window

She can't breathe anymore, can't deny what we know

They're gonna find you, just believe

You're not a person, you're a disease

All these lives that you've been taking

Deep inside, my heart is breaking

Broken homes from separation

Don't you know it's violation?

It's so wrong, but you'll see

Never gonna let you take my world from me

The world outside these walls may know you're breathing

But you ain't coming in, but you ain't coming in

Posters hung on building walls

Of missing faces

Months go by without the cause

The clues or traces

They're gonna find you, just believe

You're not a person, you're a disease

All these lives that you've been taking

Deep inside, my heart is breaking

Broken homes from separation

Don't you know it's violation?

It's so wrong, but you'll see

Never gonna let you take my world from me

The world outside these walls may know you're breathing

But you ain't coming in

Shed the light on all the ones

Who never thought they would become

A father, mother asking

Why this world can be so cold?

Doesn't come down when she calls

"It's time for breakfast"

The memories begin to fall

She asks, "When will I be free?"

All these lives that you've been taking

Deep inside, my heart is breaking

Broken homes from separation

Don't you know it's violation?

It's so wrong, but you'll see

Never gonna let you take my world from me

The world outside these walls may know you're breathing

But you ain't coming in

All these lives that you've been taking

Deep inside, my heart is breaking

All these lives that you've been taking

Deep inside, my heart is breaking

All these lives that you've been taking

Deep inside, my heart is breaking

The world outside these walls may know you're breathing

The world outside these walls may know you're breathing

But you ain't coming in
