(Verse 1) 
 
Hey, depression, 
How’s sorrow treating you? 
Such aggression 
How you left me unglued 
It seems that you can’t quite treat your people right 
So why do they scream for you every night? 
School’s in session 
What are you to do? 
 
(Chorus 1) 
 
I bet you’ll barge into class 
Stealing every moment of theirs that happens to pass 
But I couldn’t be sure 
Are you the victim or the murderer? 
Spare the lecture 
Why suffer? 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Hey there, sadness, 
Kind of been a long time 
But thank goodness 
Finally got my life right 
Counting down the days ‘til I am a month clean 
But without you it’s harder than it seems 
Still have madness 
Creeping up in time 
 
(Chorus 2) 
 
I bet you’ll take me again 
I bet you’ll take away my soul again and you’ll win 
But I couldn’t be sure 
Are you the victim or the murderer? 
Spare the lecture 
Why suffer? 
 
(Bridge) 
 
I think of days where I was lost 
And the times I paid the cost 
I never even owned my thoughts 
You had XXXXX XXXX XXX XX XX XXXX

No Safe Places

By Kurt Baty

An incisive look into the ineptness of our leaders in the immediate aftermath of mass shootings. "No Safe Places" astutely observes the gun culture climate; the senseless blame game; and the absurd solutions of the G.O.P. that inevitably follows.
