Open Palms
by Toarn

Album: Lament

Hands up don't shoot
Hands up don't shoot
My mind is up against the toxic air
As it fills my lungs with despair
As WE stare at the feet of what I thought were our
"Peacekeepers" "Our Peacekeepers " Silent
Choking back the utter terror as they push their way forward
Throwing their fists, flinging their bikes
I stand terrified as I see the pepper spray burning my eyes
My mind is terrified
Running at the sounds of bombs
Everything just keeps spinning
My mind is overwhelmed
It all feels like doom
You wear the blue, you wear your badges spelling doom
And I cannot be silent
As WE raise these empty palms
As WE raise these empty palms
My mind is spinning and I can't hear the sounds
Everybody is screaming, Everybody is running around
I can't take this injustice
I must rise and sing with this
I can't take this injustice
My mind is overwhelmed
Hands up (Hands)
Don't shoot (Up)
Hands up (Don't)
Don't shoot (Shoot)
No justice no
No justice, no peace
