Lyrics
Voices Calling: LYRICS Keith Michael Field - KMF Muzik
Verse 1
Hurry up ...hurry up
911 ...Put on hold ...Two men shot ...Cold blood I'm told
I'm bleeding out ...Wakko kid ...818 ...Hurry up
Before it's too late ...Before it's too late ...Before it's too late
Wounded inside and I hear the voices calling
Where can I hide? ... Did I walk into a place? I don't ...been here before
Don't think about what you're gonna do
Just think about what you're gonna be
Just thinking about watching you and me
Where did I call ...What do I do?
Is there somewhere waiting ...More than I can?
Verse B
Where did I know what I know ?
A world without fighting
How did I know what I know?
Something worth dying for
Chorus
I know that life is cheap
You're shooting bullets everywhere
I know that love is blind, and we don't want to see what's there
And so we keep pretending that there's something we can do
The world is spinning faster ...now they're blaming you me and you
Verse 2
Took a ride ...In my ride ...Turned around ...Thought I died ...
Terrified ....Up inside my body Crucified ...Laid to rest
Double cross Paralyzed ...Come across my face
Saw Maniac ...He fought the best ....Crucified laid to rest
Don't wanna go down here tonight
Don't wanna go without a good fight
Verse B
Where did I know what I know?
A world without fighting
How did I know what I know?
Something worth dying for
Chorus
I know that life is cheap ...You're shooting bullets everywhere
I know that life is blind, and we don't want to see what's there
And so, we keep pretending that there's something we can do
The world is spinning faster ...Now they're blaming me and you
