Close Your Eyes - Digging Graves lyrics

rate me

Senseless injustice!

Tread on heads like dust of the earth

Cut off the hands of the ones that are reaching out

Are we so calloused?

These cries are going unheard

This blood covers me just as much as you

They say this world is what I make of it

Why am I the only one that wants to see a change?

I’ve turned my back on all my brothers dying in their broken homes

I dug the graves of the ones I am called to love

We are forsaken!

Empty shells still fill our seats

How quick we choose to forget the desolation in the streets

I can’t believe this!

That we still won’t see the truth

I won’t quietly sit and choose not to be moved

They say this world is what I make of it

Why am I the only one that wants to see a change?

I’ve turned my back on all my brothers dying in their broken homes

I dug the graves of the ones I am called to love

Come stand with me; I’ll never walk alone

My words are not enough; I'll love the unloved

Come stand with us; we’ll never walk alone

Our words are not enough; we’ll love the unloved

We'll love the unloved

They say this world is what I make of it

Why am I the only one that wants to see a change?

I’ve turned my back on all my brothers dying in their broken homes

I dug the graves of the ones I am called to love
