You May Be Next

[Intro]
You sit in silence, far away
Turn off the news, look the other way
But how long ‘til the pain gets near?
How long ‘til you drown in fear?
[Verse 1]
Comfort in your distant view
Blood’s not on your hands, so what’s it to you?
Children scream, but it’s not your home
As long as you’re safe, just leave them alone
You say it’s not your fight to fight
But you can’t outrun the wrong from the right
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s too far, too far to feel
So you pretend it’s not real
But what if it comes knocking on your door?
Will you care when it’s you begging on the floor?
[Chorus]
Blind to the blood, deaf to the cries
Too far to see, too far to realize
But the storm is coming, and it’s headed your way
You’ll feel the fire, you’ll feel the flames
What will you do when it’s your turn to burn?
Will you still pretend, or will you learn?
You’re too far, too far to feel…
But you might be next.
[Interlude]
You think you’re safe in your little space
But ignorance has a price to pay…
[Verse 2]
You scroll through lives, turn them to dust
It’s easy when there’s no one you trust
Turn a blind eye, close your mind
But karma’s not too far behind
You say it's their war, it’s their fate
But when the fire spreads, it’s too late
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s too far, too far to feel
So you pretend it’s not real
But what if it comes knocking on your door?
Will you care when it’s you begging on the floor?
[Chorus]
Blind to the blood, deaf to the cries
Too far to see, too far to realize
But the storm is coming, and it’s headed your way
You’ll feel the fire, you’ll feel the flames
What will you do when it’s your turn to burn?
Will you still pretend, or will you learn?
You’re too far, too far to feel…
But you might be next.
[Build-Up]
When the bombs fall on your street
When there’s no food left to eat
When the world turns its back on you
Will you still say it’s nothing new?
[Bridge
You’re too blind to see the pain
Too deaf to hear their screams in vain
But your walls will fall, and you’ll be found
When it’s your home burning down
[Final Chorus]
Blind to the blood, deaf to the cries
Too far to see, too far to realize
But the storm is coming, and it’s headed your way
You’ll feel the fire, you’ll feel the flames
What will you do when it’s your turn to burn?
Will you still pretend, or will you learn?
You’re too far, too far to feel…
But you might be next.
[Outro] (whispered, sinister)
You might be next…
You’re too far to feel…
But not too far to fall.
