I saw the white light comin'
I saw the red rush onto my bed
Over my duvet cover
I woke up on the wrong side of it
PRE 1
Nobody heard the shots

No one was locked away
(there’s no justice)
Just this gaping hole in the font of my chest
Somehow, I’m still alive, just my
My heart is dead
BRIDGE:

POST BRIDGE:
It’s like I died
But, I’m still alive
I’m not upset
No worries,
just...
ALT CHORUS:
Ooh, there's no justice, no...
Oooh, Nobody took the blame
No one was locked away
I just had to let you know
My heart is...
