9-1-1

Operator: 9-1-1 What is your emergency?

Verse:
There’s a time in every adolescent life
When they try and come up
Not sure you’ll make it
If the policemen run up
Guns up, drawin’ your fight or flight
Is stifled by the barrel in your eye sight
Your life like...flashing along with flashing lights
You may not make it to see the limelight
In hindsight
You thinkin you made a poor decision
Slipping out the kitchen instead of
Washing the dishes
This is...exactly what I get
And that just keeps playing over in your head
Everything is happening way too fast
And you’re scared
Fear not you awake from a bad dream
After falling asleep watching the TV
The madness seen in those bleak scenes
Happen to be from reality...

Verse:
Reality is that brother didn’t make it
He tried to make a break for it
Anxious
Either way he would’ve laid there
If he hesitated
No escaping it
I’m tired of faking it
Seems like the game show we on
They breaking rules and changing em
Fear lead me to facing it
Now that I’m face to face with it
I’m wondering where’d it go wrong
Or was it ever right
Why must every fight
Be predetermined
We’re seen as vermin
Who need to be eradicated by any means
Maybe we’ll all wake up
From this nightmare
That’s fantasy see though
And your handed placebos
In this Mandela effect
You really didn’t need those
We rose to the occasion one time
But like the breeze
that time has passed by
