Steel Down

Verse 1

Lead

Copper shells

They keep falling

Concrete absorbs the heat

Empty chambers

Cold

Nothing left but the weeping

Mothers mourning

Broken brothers

Lost in the gray

Chorus

Put the steel down

Put it down

Put it down

We just want to live

We just want to live

We just want to live

No more sirens in the night

No more sirens in the night

Verse 2

Black top

Soaked red

Thirsty ground drinks deep

Why we choosing

To die

To kill

To rot

Peace is a ghost

Walking past the empty playgrounds

Hollow souls

Shadows

Fighting for a block we don't own

Fighting for a block we don't own

Chorus

Put the steel down

Put it down

Put it down

We just want to live

We just want to live

We just want to live

No more sirens in the night

No more sirens in the night

Bridge

Tired of the funerals

Tired of the black suits

Tired of the flowers

Yesterday they were here

Today they are gone

Tomorrow who is next

It shouldn't be you

It shouldn't be me

Chorus

Put the steel down

Put it down

Put it down

We just want to live

We just want to live

We just want to live

No more sirens in the night

No more sirens in the night

Outro

Just peace

Just breath

Just life

Let the kids grow

Let the sun rise

Let us be

Let us be

Let us be
