22 is too many

22 shattered lives in the ground

Each one deeper than the one before

How do we stop the pain

How can the sanity be regained

How do we stop that movie each night

That plays when our eyes are closed tight

22 is too many broken hearts

Too many broken parts

One 22 breaks 100 more

Why can’t we close that door

The ledge is crowded

Footsteps in the dark

Every step louder

Every soul marked

We’re falling fast

We’re falling hard

And nobody can fix us

Why can't they fix us

Echoes in the canyon

Crying out for light

Shadows in the alleys

Disappearing from sight

Who holds the pieces

Who saves the fight

Take this from my hand

Stop me from being buried in the land

One 22 breaks 100 more

I don't want to break you

Please close the door

Sit with me until I get through the night

Please keep the shadows from my sight

Take this from my hand

Stop me from being buried in the land

Stop that movie each night

That plays when my eyes are closed tight

Sit with me until I get through the night

Please keep the shadows from my sight

22 is too many broken hearts

Too many broken parts

One 22 breaks 100 more

Why can’t we close that door
