lyrics

One night in the month of May
A brother and a son would never be the same
All hopes and dreams to be someone in this world but a switchblade fell in deep
Young boy so naive but a coward and a thief had left and fled the scene
A rebel soul on the ground, fighting for his life before darkness all surrounds

His blood, panicked eyes
Will anybody help to keep thus boy alive?
Here comes the ambulance
Get him in the back so he will have a chance
A sick dream, feeling numb
What the fuck has happened on a night that's meant for fun?
It's a battle from here on out
Independence just stripped away

Take a look at yourself
Look at what you've done
You scarred a family
And those dreams that he had all washed away
I don't understand this violence
I don't understand this violence
It'll never change

It will never change
Oh it will never change
It will never change
