8:46 by Markeise Lyrics

I’ve been thinking lately about how tragedy strikes

Messed up how things change in a single moment
Slowly falling behind I swear I can’t focus
Completely out of my mind
Feel like I’m always cold and it’s 8:46
Are we all lost and broken?

I’m the voice of all the youth that feels like they’re dead
8:46 am was when it all began
Using this ink to tell my story and vent
I’m on edge ‘cause 20 years ago a tragic event
Shocked the world
3000 people died
Some suicide
Others wеre risking their lives
I criеd on the night that I saw the real footage
The FDNY are nothing short of heroes

Man it’s all so boggling
Messed up how things change in a single moment
Slowly falling behind I swear I can’t focus
Completely out of my mind
Feel like I’m always cold and it’s 8:46
Are we all lost and broken?

The sadness consumes me and eludes when I start thinking back to all the lives that we lost
Tell me what’s the ultimate cost when a country is invaded with no regard
Completely charred and scarred from a single day
It seems impossible how each building collapsed that way
The facts they say are all so fake
Still I wonder how America changed?

Messed up how things change in a single moment
Slowly falling behind I swear I can’t focus
Completely out of my mind
Feel like I’m always cold and it’s 8:46
Are we all lost and broken?
