[Intro]
Say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved
(Oh, Oh)
[Verse 1]
I'm just trying to breathe fire
The news took the wind right out of me
There's no relief in the silent
Ways we grieve
[Pre-Chorus]
One reason for the pain you caused
Two words to mend the damage done
Three left in the chamber of your gun
Four seconds to run
[Chorus]
You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved
I can feel
Me centered and the world comes with it
I can feel
Centered and the world comes with it
[Post-Chorus]
I just want the world to know it's real
I just want the world to know it's real
[Verse 2]
It's the color they see, fire
Never knowing the face behind the name
It's always easy staying quiet
But red's the color we bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
One reason for the pain you caused
Two words to mend the damage done
Three left in the chamber of your gun
Four seconds to run
[Chorus]
You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved
You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved
I can feel
Me centered and the world comes with it
I can feel
Centered and the world comes with it
[Bridge]
(Pinch yourself, shed a tear
Remind yourself the world is real)
Pinch yourself
Shed a tear
Remind yourself the world is real
That the world is real
That the world is real (Woah)
It's always easy staying quiet
(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)
But red's the colour we bleed
(Remind yourself the world is real)
Pinch yourself
Shed a tear
Remind yourself the world is real
I just want the world to know it's real (Woah)
I just want the world to know it's real
So say you don't believe
[Chorus]
You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved
I can feel
Me centered and the world comes with it
I can feel
Centered and the world comes with it
