[Verse 1]
Newsprint on the doorstep
Coffee going cold
Thumbs stained with headlines
I can't even fold
Sirens in the background
Threading through the day
All this broken glass
We just step around and pray
[Chorus]
There’s blood on our hands in the daylight
Fingerprints on every broken frame
We keep calling this chaos a story
Then act surprised it ends the same
We stand in the smoke of the fires we planned
Say we don't understand
But there’s blood
There’s blood on our hands
[Verse 2]
Kids draw tanks in crayon
On the kitchen floor
Teacher hangs their pictures
By the classroom door
Screens glow in the darkness
Like a private war
We scroll past the bodies
Asking
"who is keeping score?"
[Chorus]
There’s blood on our hands in the daylight
Fingerprints on every broken frame
We keep calling this chaos a story
Then act surprised it ends the same
We stand in the smoke of the fires we planned
Say we don't understand
But there’s blood
There’s blood on our hands
[Bridge]
How many names
Fit on one small stone?
How many times
Will we say "unknown"?
If every scream
Had a steady beat
Would we finally hear it
Under our own feet?
[Chorus]
There’s blood on our hands in the daylight
Fingerprints on every broken frame
We keep calling this chaos a story
Then act surprised it ends the same
We stand in the smoke of the fires we planned
Say we don't understand
But there’s blood
There’s blood on our hands
