Everything changes but me
As the world explodes
And I watch my dreams erode
Just let me be

I question my sanity
When darkness descends
Is this finally the end?
Why is the world so driven by vanity?

How long do we wait
Do we run, do we hide?
Is there no one on the other side?
How long will we still be the world’s bait?

Does the world not see?
We have lost all humanity
There is nothing left but profanity
Everything changes but me

How can we determine our worth...
through the world
and not by the reflection we see
through words of others
and not by the  actions of me
through possessions
and not by the nature we see
through expectations
and not by the limits of me
through ego
and not by the soul we see

To be worthy is simply
To Be Me

In this borrowed existence
In this fearful life

The world keeps turning
The world keeps burning

Our night time fears
Our daylight joys

We neglect our love
We feed the addicts

Who’s hopes and prayers
Why violence and sadness

In this borrowed existence
In this fearful life

We are only Human....

— The End —
