LYRICS

after the dance we went outside
i got kinda bored and she said “close your eyes and tell me about your friends”
The heat quickly dropped the stillness was thick
i felt this before when we used to sit and watch all the storms, come off of the prairie

so i started off at the beginning, the summer of the crash
2008, the summer before we’d graduate
she came to our town from the city, she had a little voice but was pretty
skinny and tall and i watched her in the halls
she used to get high and tell me things, but she wouldn’t tell me everything
i’d feed her in the mornings, but she didn’t remember a thing
some nights it’d be too much, little reminders and memories
she’d have to leave and i’d follow after her

her hand in mine for stability, she was charged with electricity
its easy to set her off when she’s really drunk
“i can see his casket with the flag on top” empty inside, then she threw up
on the floor, until i took her home
and on top of everything her daddy lost it all
he lost it in the shitty markets, she lost it on shitty carpets
we’d come home in the summer, she never found any work
she’d sit around, and these ghosts followed her

they’re these kids fucked up from IEDs
and the loans she took to pay her lease
she felt selfish so she cried a lot
she cried that day the towers dropped
she volunteered to make it seem less real
but now she can’t even feel

we are here, we’re not alone, hear us all

our blood is hot, our minds are quick, fear us all

you can’t ignore us any longer, we’re still here

lets have hope and stand together, not just one, but all of us

its not just one, its all of us
