I heard that London was on high alert
Since all of the statues had begun to burn
And were swallowed in the sea
The world changed in an instance for me
'Cause it made the world finally one
Under the water of what had become
Everyone was shaking
Nowhere felt the same
Submerged by pain
When videos of attacks come I skip to the middle
Don't like it when the bad things start break my bubble
I don't know why I thought my shielding was perennial
I'm feeling post-millenial
I heard that some people hadn't learnt
That playing with firearms means you'll get hurt
Everyone that I know has had something to say
I saw that they were sharing it online yesterday
It made the world finally one
Through fear of being scared and seeing evil had won
Most people were respectful but some had wrong ideas
Consumed by fear
When videos of attacks come I skip to the middle
Don't like it when the bad things start break my bubble
I don't know why I thought this shielding was perennial
I'm feeling post-millenial
I get everything I need from my laptop screen
I don't want effects on me
Photos, they are bound to me
They're on my TV screen
I can do nothing but place me there now
When videos of attacks come I skip to the middle
Don't like it when the bad things start break my bubble
I don't know why I thought my shielding was perennial
When videos of attacks come I don't want to discriminate
Don't like it when the only guarentee is hate
I know I don't want that attitude to perennial
I'm feeling post-millenial
I got told some news yesterday
I got it just early online anyway
I sat and watched events unfold
'Cause people were dying was what I'd been told
It made all my problems seem so small
So tell others you love them, if you love them at all
For when they're not there anymore
