Every morning there's a ritual
There's a routine
When you're reading all the news
In the world from the screen
For a second sense of powerlessness
Fills you up
People suffer, people die
And this will never stop

But as years go by you learned
To stay under control
So you're lying in your bed
Going numb from it all

In gardens of stone
We die alone
Waiting for someone
To guide us back home
But nobody's there
And nobody cares
Our only answer is still
Thoughts and prayers

Ages spent just waiting
For the justice from the cloud
Hoping for the higher forces
To sort it all out
Since technology and science
For you don't make sense
Hollow empathy's now
The only way of defence

In gardens of stone
We die alone
Waiting for someone
To guide us back home
But nobody's there
And nobody cares
Our only answer is still
Thoughts and prayers

In gardens of stone
We die alone
Waiting for someone
To guide us back home
Nobody's there
Nobody cares
Our only answer is still
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers
