Ross Wylde - Parkland (You've Played Me Too Long) Lyrics

Our country's just as tall as my generation stands
But the trigger lays so many lives away
The cycle that we live inside won't be blown wide when passing days
Leave nothing saved

I believe you when you claim to hear my cries
But don't pretend you understand
If you did, you would've acted long ago and made commands
Now here we stand

We see through your mask of the righteous guard you wear
We're proud to hunt your wasted lies
Collecting coins and shaking hands behind our backs, you think we're blind
What price will change your mind

You've played me far too long
I've had enough
'Cause one life lost in vain
Is one too much

How much blood will it take 'till you see
That far too much carnage has occurred
How many times can you just shoot down my generation's words
Until we're heard

Some will say it's an excuse to get away
That may be true for some, but not for me
While remembering the painful past in your shadows cast, I can't be free

You've played me far too long
I've had enough
'Cause one life lost so young
Is one too much
