The Loved Ones

3rd Shift

Lyricist:Christopher Edwin Gonzalez, David Andrew Hause, Michael Hanrahan Sneeringer, Bernard David Walsh

His mama said stay away
Away from all the darkness, it'll haunt you
And everything we've ever prayed
Is the only thing that will ever save you

But it all started with that little taste
It keep him up later at night
Helped the truth come back into sight

And when she left him it dulled the pain
He'd hide the marks under his socks
The doctor said he was in shock from what he'd seen

His mama said it's the last time
It's the last time we'll be here to save you
Because you've fucked this up again
And those kids aren't your friends, they use you up

And now he's standing in the rain
He should have probably hopped the train instead of drove
The sergeant's seen this thing before
Maybe some time behind locked doors will save this kid

No, but it don't save him and who's to blame?
The truth just keeps him up at night
There was never much inside he liked

The guilty phantoms make him insane

He could clean up but why start now?
After all who knows how to start again?

If we don't save him, who's to blame?
If we don't save him, who's to blame?
If we don't save him, who's to blame?

His mama said stay away
Away from all the darkness, it'll haunt you
And everything we've ever prayed
Is the only thing that will ever save you

But it all started with that little taste
It helped keep him up later at night
Helped the truth come back into sight

And when she left him it dulled the pain
He'd hide the marks under his socks
The doctor said he was in shock

If we don't save him, who is to blame?
The truth just keeps us up at night
Why can't he see what's there to like?

Do guilty phantoms make us insane?
If we clean it up there's no way out
Time will tell if he makes it out of this alive
