Scroll, click
A feeling of dread
Scroll, click
It’s all in your head
Scroll, click
This is what I read
Scroll, click
But this is what they said
Scroll, click
It’s getting harder to steer
Scroll, click
Just stop living in fear
Scroll, click
You just never know
Scroll, click
But your chances are low
Scroll, click
It’s called an emotion
Scroll, click
That’s a silly notion
Scroll, click
The numbers are high
Scroll, click
It’s all a big lie
Scroll, click
The 4th wave is upon us
Scroll, click
They’re not being honest
Scroll, click
I want to help
Scroll, click
…Whelp

Scroll, click
I’m really scared
Scroll, click
And that needs to be shared
Scroll, click
If not for me
Scroll, click
Then for the others I see
Scroll, click
And maybe you are too
Scroll, click
But we’ll make it through

You stop for a moment
Think about what you’re doing
Are you sitting back
Are you just booing
Are you against it all
Whatever it may be
And are you still yelling
Just let me be free

Because you can deny
You can deflect
You can minimize
But not with respect

Because

Scroll, click
As I lay in bed
Scroll, click
As I shake my head
Scroll, click
As my tears are shed
Scroll, click
Another child is dead
