Graffiti Hearts

GRAFFITI HEARTS - Written by Carroll Bryant

We keep running this race

Somehow we got it in our heads

We got to finish in first place

With a finger on the trigger

We are prepared to eliminate 

The prophets spread the word

Somehow we got too busy in our lives

And I don't think that we heard

How can it be we multiply our pain?

In a world we invented and intended to be sweet

Somehow I tend to start believing that I don't agree

This isn't the way your king intended for it to be

And then at times I get my doubts

Is he even watching us at all?

You have to die in order to get out

Meanwhile, they watch you crawl

I still can't figure out how to solve this crazy case

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever seen his face?

Sometimes I think that we're all insane

On the verge of breaking down

And the air that we breathe is a game

Where the objective is "Don't you dare make a sound"

In our hand, the book

We keep turning the pages

Reading what we already read

And I think that is a shame

From our very own guidance, we're already dead

Then at times I get so crazy

Does he even really care at all?

And how can I expect to get even

If the writing isn't on the wall

I still can't figure out how to leave without a trace

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever seen his face?

Are we having too much of a good time?

Such a good time we easily disregard 

Can we change what we can't learn?

And can we do it without graffiti hearts?

Are we getting too much of a good thing?

Such a good thing we try too hard

Can we save what we can't earn?

Or are we playing with a stacked deck of cards?

Can we do it without graffiti hearts?

We keep running this race

Somehow we got it in our heads

We got to finish in first place

With a finger on the trigger

We are prepared to eliminate

And then at times I get my doubts

Is he even watching us at all?

You have to die in order to get out

Meanwhile, they watch you crawl

I still can't figure out how to solve this crazy case

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever seen his face?

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever really seen his face?
