What Do We Do

S: Our heroes are dying
Our saviours are crying
Our angels keep trying
Our hearts are denying
This love
This trust
This bond before us
Now broken and shattered
Ground into dust
Our smiles were paved
In the gold of their name
But they never gave
Us a sign to save
The hands of the hearted
Deserters
Departed
They speak words of love
But there actions gave up
What do we do, now
What do we do
C: From the darkness
They pulled us
Yet so suddenly
desert us
Always told us to make
Our smiles real
Told us its okay
Its okay to feel
Though apparently they couldn't
Did they always know?
Their words were our crutches
There smiles were OUR masks
Helped us
Through thick and thin
Without them here
Where's my reason
My reason to live
What comes next
What do we do
Do without them
S: The habit's unbroken
The sun is still black
Rain isn't what I want
I want them all back
I want to paint it black
I want to take them back
So they knew they weren't alone
How could we have known
Everybody needs a hero
Even our own
It feels like there's nothing left
But a bitter emptiness
A hole in our soul
A tear in our heart
Where's the hand to
Lead us through the dark
C: They helped us through it all
But we couldn't help them
We should've guessed it
Our souls we lay upon their shoulders
Yet expect them to hold it
No questions asked
But they did it with a smile
A smile we thought strong
How were we supposed to know
We were wrong all along
They grew weak behind the curtains
Until they eventually collapsed
Little did they know
Wed be breaking our backs
Just to hold them up
They taught us how
If only we couldve proved it
Could've showed them they're loved
Like they did for us
S:But they won't be forgotten
They will carry on
We will grieve
But we won't grieve long
They want us to be safe
They want us to be strong
This is the legacy
They have passed along
It hurts
It stings
The pain
It sings
But the songs of the broken
The words left unspoken
The anthems of an angel
An angel finally freed from its torment
They made their stay worthwhile
Now they have to go
We have to let go
They prepared us for this moment
Will you let them know
You're unbroken?
