2am Lyrics by Ruckus Aquinas

AR-EP

2020

Hands past the twelve up on the clock
Have marked the start of Sunday
As hands held in the parking lot
Hold bodies dancing away
They can’t do this everywhere
But in this nightclub they're safe
No one to say they don't belong
In this strangely sacred space
It's 2 AM and they're not home yet
But nobody is wondering if they're safe
It's 2 AM but they're not home yet
This is just what happens
This is just what happens
This is just what happens when you stay up late
Hands grip tightly upon the gun
And mark out too many fates
The sound suddenly overcome
With bullets, anger, and hate
People sense there’s something wrong
Then realize what has changed
They look for loved ones and run
In between them and harm's way
It's 2 AM and they're not home yet
But nobody is wondering if they're safe
It's 2 AM but they're not home yet
Is this just what happens
Is this just what happens
Is this just what happens when you stay up late
Hands tap out careful keyboard strokes
And mark the words of Sunday
Our thoughts and prayers with Orlando
And its victims but Monday
Forgetting why those lives were taken
Rights are taken away
Forgetting tar they painted us with
Paved this murderous way
Next 2 AM when they’re not home yet
Well now we all will worry if they're safe
Next 2 AM but they're not home yet
Is this just what happens
Is this just what happens
Is this just what happens when you're the queer they hate
You're the queer they hate
We're the queers you hate
We're the queers you hate
