Broken dreams, a shallow heart,
Wings of innocence torn apart,
Caught in a moment, but out of time,
Life’s a song that just doesn’t rhyme,
Selfish wants, purity’s destruction,
Snared in the wildfire of needy seduction,
National suicide, greed became lust,
Having to lie in order to trust,
Nightmare, wide awake,
Watching society burn at the stake,
Shattered faith, gone with yesterday,
Back before “love” was a cliché,
Light inverted, shadows lead,
Growth is faster with a tainted seed,
Destiny, approaching fast,
In a race where all come last,
Apparitions, icy chills,
Blaming ghosts for making the kills,
Breaking silence, whispering screams,
Accepting everything as it first seems,
Ignorance, we brought this on,
Then were surprised when all hope was gone.
