    Here we are again with handguns for hearts

    They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart

    Nothing to hold, all hope deleted

    Our demise has been completed now

    Nowhere left to go but down

    The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown

    In oceans of this tragic part of town

    Where nothing''s heard for miles but the sound

    Of children wishing they were safely underground

    We are the walking dead, we hold this ghost in our arms

    We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky stars

    Tried to get by on bread and water

    Craving blood poured from the alter now

    Not much left to do but drown

    In flames of miscommunication, down

    Then out and off in search of someone proud

    To translate what we truly dream about

    As we lay in this bed thinking out loud

    I''m screaming uncle, mercy me

    And my broken telepathy

    For I''m left with nothing but this bloodless riverbank

    West Memphis, please

    I''m begging you to stop praying for me
