You Promised Me a Symphony

It is 1 P.M.

School bell's ringing

My heart beats fast

I better get on running

She shouldn't be alone

I should have been at home

Your guns, your lies, your cigarettes, your war

She kept us safe

Our hearts were filled with fear

Your prints left messy stains

But who was there to clear?

She shouldn't be alone

I should have been at home

My hope, my faith, your ignorance, your loss
