Breaking News

Yeah
 I see pain in the eyes that I view (Yeah I see it)
 This breaking news really ain't new (Really ain't)
 This breaking news really ain't new (Nah really ain't)
 It really ain't
 Listen
 Breaking news
 New bodies in the body bag
 A boy lost the man he used to call dad
 A girl will never see her mother smile again
 At the funeral they cry for the life that she never had
 How many lives lost at the hands
 Of a nemesis?
 With a sad plot so damaging
 A terrorist, anarchist
 Someone who was pulled or forced
 To the dark side like Anakin?
 I'm balancing my thoughts
 Rallying the hope
 I'm paddling to the shore
 Now I was pretty sure this land was quite safe
 While the enemy grew up on our shores
 Valley of the shadow of death it feels close
 Every time I turn up the news and move close
 Bedtime stories help the kids sleep well
 Now we're hearing stories of babies on beach shells
 Rest in peace Alan Kurdi
 I hope that you sleep well
 A life cut short
 He was trying to leave hell
 Tryna find the better life that I live
 If I was in the same position what would I give?
 Many kids wishing they could be in my shoes
 Souls lost in the sea
 What do we do?
 Feeling kinda powerless to minimise feuds
 War in another land
 I can't even understand
 How it must feel
 Fearing for your life
 Running to the high hills
 Only to get there and told to go back
 Borderline beef
 This is borderline peak
 Nah
 It's more than that
 It's more like bad dreams
 More like nightmares when they feel real
 And you feel trapped in your sleep
 It hits deep
 Mothers lying down six feet
 The graveyard stealing heart beats
 Can I get a heart please?
 Apathy running deep in the veins
 Of the people living in the west
 So I spray these syllables
 Aiming for your heart
 Always clinical
 Hoping that I strike a chord with you, umbilical
 Tell me why my heart feeling cynical
 And why I see the pain of these individuals
 Through my digital device and I only really do the minimal
 Give a retweet
 Then I move to the next
 Repeat, then again
 Ah, never stress
 You pretend it could never be you on the other end
 Looking for help from those on the other end
 And wondering why change didn't come in the end
 We gotta start spreading love from our ends
 Love the ones beside you
 Whether or not they ride for you
 Tomorrow's not promised but know this
 Today is our chance to change
 We're not hopeless, ah
 I see pain in the eyes that I view yeah (Yeah I see it)
 This breaking news really ain't new (Really ain't)
 This breaking news really ain't new
 Wanna see change in the eyes that I view (I wanna see it)
 This breaking news really ain't new (Really ain't)
 This breaking news really ain't new (Nah really ain't)
 It really ain't
 I wait for you
 I don't know why
 All I know is I can't hide
 I wait for you
 I don't know why
 All I know is I can't hide
