[Intro]
Dark thoughts fill my mind
It’s about to be the Fourth of July
Fireworks go off in the sky
Shooting color all through the night
[Verse]
But as we watch the rockets pop and blow
Pop Pop goes the gun during the show
We don’t here the man getting shot in the borough
Trying to buy some blow while the sky lights and glows
As his kids and wife watch and listen to the serenade
He’s laying in the street where his memories fade
[Pre-Chorus]
While the gunner runs away with the money he paid
He thinks he’s in the clear
He’s gonna get away
But even though no one heard the gunshots
The dark thoughts when known will rise with the pain
[Chorus]
Dark thoughts fill our mine
But we don’t know the truth
As people die do these thoughts follow
Or are we holding the flower of their youth
[Verse]
Where’s dad? The kids ask mom
He will be home soon
But they don’t know
That he is gone
By the house that is blue
But also with red
Flashing lights appear
With no emotion quite yet
Just disbelief of the gruesome horror they fear
As they pull the tarp
And lay it on him
They do it as respect
For the dark thoughts deep within
[Pre-Chorus]
As he lay there with bullets in his chest
As he lay there wearing Daddy’s the best
That read on his shirt
That his kids brought to him this morning
On his birthday, his face full of stress
[Chorus]
Dark thoughts fill our mine
But we don’t know the truth
As people die do these thoughts follow
Or are we holding the flower of their youth
[Verse]
Mom gets the call
Tears start rolling so fast
The kids notice and ask what’s wrong
Is it dad?
But they still don’t know what story unfold
We got to go kids
Dad needs us he’s cold
They rush to the car
As the last firework goes pow
She starts the car and rushes to see him
Like wow
Not thinking about all the drinks she was drinking
She runs the red light
Not seeing the truck
The cars collide
Leaving nothing but dust
[Pre-Chorus]
The debris fades
The smoke settles
But it is too late
Everyone is gone
There is nothing left
But the the last firework going off
In the midnight moonlight
Right over the wreck
[Chorus]
Dark thoughts fill our mine
But we don’t know the truth
As people die do these thoughts follow
Or are we holding the flower of their youth
