about

"Flies" was written after the horrible massacre that occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, October 1st, 2017.

58 victims, nearly 500 injured.

It is hard not to feel helpless in the midst of inconceivable tragedies.

Although money cannot reconcile the horror and challenges hundreds upon hundreds of people are going to face in the upcoming weeks, months, and years, is it a concrete thing those of us that feel helpless can do to help.

Money can pay hospital bills.
Money can pay funeral costs.
Money can buy a meal for a child who lost their parent from senseless hatred.

You can purchase "Flies" for $1, or whatever you would like, and I will be donating all of the money to a GoFundMe account that will be giving the money directly to the victims and families involved in this horrible tragedy.

I will be donating any money that I receive from this song to the GoFundMe account:

Love Army Las Vegas created by Casey Neistat.

Once he raises 1M, he will be donating all of his money to the GoFundMe account:

LAS VEGAS VICTIMS' FUND created by Steve Sisolak, Clark County Commission Chair from Las Vegas.

If you don't care for the song, please go directly to one of the GoFundMe pages listed above and donate directly whatever you can.

lyrics

if i'm gonna die young
i would not have chosen a blaze
if that is my fate
there's so much hell i need to raise

i just bought new shoes
the cats are sleeping in the living room
the street is singing silently
at any moment, the storm could be released

before my eyes
the streetlights are falling down
it's no surprise
people are dropping like flies
destruction's life
is only as long as we feed
the monster
hungry, so hungry with greed

if you're gonna die young
i'd like to see you dressed in white
surrounded by black roses
family crying by your side

you just had that show
you were sad because that one guy couldn't go
the room was empty
but company of your closest friends was plenty

before my eyes
the streetlights are falling down
it's no surprise
people are dropping like flies
destruction's life
is only as long as we feed
the monster
hungry, so hungry with greed

whoever said
love is dead
you are wrong
we must be strong
i'm sick of seeing

before my eyes
streetlights are crumbling down
it's no surprise
people are dropping like flies

before my eyes
the streetlights are crumbling down
it's no surprise
people are dropping like flies
destruction's life
is only as long as we feed
the monster
hungry, so hungry with greed

hungry, so hungry
hungry, so hungry
hungry, so hungry
