Cover art for All These Lives lyrics by Daughtry

This song is about child abduction. The first stanza involves a mother's worst nightmare: starting off a day like any other only to find out that their child is missing. This song is to serve as a warning that although the abducter gets away with it for now, eventually they'll get caught hense the "walls may know you're breathing." Maybe guilt will devour them in the long run?
