Fuse

We’ve been sitting

No, we’ve been pretending

That it won’t touch here

That it’s a they problem,

Not a we problem,

Not our problem,

But a why can’t they just

Figure it out

Problem

But I see it differently

Us is them when it matters

When it’s our back

Against the wall

When it’s our brother

Behind bars

When it’s our dad

In the grocery store

It’s so easy to forget

All the almosts

And the could’ve beens

When our four walls

Remain unchanged

But we’re sitting on it

As they were then

We’re witnessing it

And breathing it

And thinking it

But not preventing it

Let us hope  

When we’re running

When we’re hiding

When we’re looking for a way

When our world is on fire

That they remember we

And we becomes us.
