Cease the Fire Lyrics

I am no different than you
Though I try to be true, blue
I'll raise my green
Sometimes it seems like failure's a must
Sometimes my trust is busted in half
It's enough to go mad
Cuffed in plaid
But life without stripes sucks to be had
How could you know glad, if you didn't feel pain?
There's no kids without dads
No yin without yang
But that doesn't explain
Shooting someone
That kind of gain can't be undone
But where does this come from?
That's the real question
Its just a conundrum
No ones truly addressing
Cease the fire, cease the fire
Stop the shooting- stop the feuding
We need to reach higher
Cease the fire
Everyone's stressing how its music and movies, now
But I'm only guessing, so you'll have to excuse me
But, shouldn't you proofread your children's papers?
As parent's it's your duty to provide the chuck Taylors
The kids are just sailors, the parents are captains
They are the saviors who make the good happen
When someone is asking for help or guidance, but they only know smashing and basking in violence
Its because of the silence, we all feel inside
We try to deny it, but only know how to hide
Our arents are guides, answers, shoulders
We look to the sky, but they are much closer
The most I can hope for is to crease the desire
So I'm begging for no more please, cease the fire
Cease the fire
Cease the fire, stop the shooting-stop the feuding
We need to reach higher
Cease the fire
Cease the fire, cease the fire, stop the shooting-stop the feuding
We need to reach higher
Cease the fire
