[Verse 1]
Blue lights in the window
Too late in the rain
White chalk on the staircase
They zip up your whole name
Paper cups on the counter
“Sign here
Sir
Calm down”
Cold hands
Warm lies
He swears he’ll burn this town
[Chorus]
He just wants to watch the world burn
Watch the sirens melt and turn
Every empty promise into smoke
Every golden symbol into jokes
[Verse 2]
Three years
Nothing answered
Case file turned to dust
“Resources are limited”
They say “just learn to trust”
Smiling on the TV
Same suits
Same stale words
He’s screaming at the screen now
They treat his pain like dirt
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You shook my hand in that hallway
You stared right through my eyes
You called it “tragic incident”
I call it state-approved crime
Your flag is just a veil to me
Your oath
Another curse
If justice is a ledger
Then bill me for this hurt
[Chorus]
