Dear Mr. David Keene I hope this message finds you well We don’t know each other, I am just an average person with some queries I would like to ask I am pretty sure this is not the first time you read a letter of protest My deepest wish is to become aware there is no need for more of them because Instead of disputing about school shootings the day after a foolish act I would like to discuss before in order to prevent How does it feel to be on top of the almighty N.R.A.? How does it feel to guard The 2nd amendment of the United States? Do you ever think of the families whose children were shot to death? I know you did not pull that trigger but still you are the responsible for that What’s making you so numb? Is your business worth so many lives? How can you ignore your guilty conscience When you lay you down to sleep at night? Despite your greedy hands I bet You would never trade your sons for a compensation And there’s one thing I can vouch for Neither would have the kin of the murdered kids After more than 2 centuries the Bill of Rights might be obsolete What's the connection between weapons and freedom? You call it “safety” and I call it “fear” Apparently the 2nd amendment grants your compatriots their own defense But what you define a right, a national pride, is nothing more than a common threat

Mesmerized by disinformation Gossip has the upper hand over news compulsively addicted to the trash TV Hypnotized and manipulated The TV screen reflects our emptiness Killings and kidnappings are just the pretext for a Sort of reality imposed by a morbid curiosity Confusing information with entertainment because Tragedy turned into a show Another lie to increase the audience Another drama to draw the attention And still we keep on gawking Where the spotlights are on Day after day we acquire more information But day after day our knowledge drops Our level of rationality collapses Swimming faster than the stream to reach the waterfall A flood of distractions disabilities our minds Our capacity for reasoning in now paralyzed Leaving us indifferent to the facts That will lead us to ruin A new episode based on the same old plot One more criminal to be proclaimed mainstream 24/7 stakeouts to narrate his routine No way to set it right until we decide to quit This absurd tendency to spectacularize disgraces Neglecting victims' feelings so they become victims twice A hypocrite aestheticization of suffering They are shaping it like Hollywood, but this is our reality

It might not sound so easy to imagine there's a thank you note Behind my screams but I don't want the wind to blow my words away Long time no see days became weeks, weeks became months, months became years So far away but still so close just like back in the days it seems like time stood still So many things I'd like to say but I'm afraid they might sound bromidic That's why I decided to write this song instead Because that's the clearest way I know to prove you that through brightest and darkest days When you can't see me right in front of your eyes you're not alone I'm walking by your side True friends will stay the same through distance and time we got each other's back True friends will stay the same we've come this far without losing track When life turns its back on I got your shoulder to lean on and find the strength to overcome A constant comfort that invigorates my will to pull myself together and take on my inner fear Whenever it’s my turn to hold your head up high and lead the path when you can't see the light If for any reason we’re not next to each other Give this song a listen and I’ll be singing it louder
