Won't you tell me
When peace will come
When will war be over
When will pain be done

The world is in shambles
The ending seems near
Why should we keep on listening
When there is nothing good to hear

The news is filled with nonsense
Everybody is in pain
One way or another it affects us all
And it's driving us insane

One shooting after another
What president will we choose
Let it be known that whatever happens
We all are bound to lose

Lose happiness when hate takes over
Lose hope over days filled with fear
Lose patience with those around us
Lose sleep over those we hold dear

Somehow or another we need change
We need to make things right
Or the world will dig itself deeper
And we'll all be buried alive

Let us out of this hole safely
Somebody will find a way
We need all the faith we can gather
Maybe, we'll have this someday

The pills
They take a toll on you
Make your head feel like a balloon
You walk
When they yell run
And you are finished before they are done
I don’t want this to be over
Cause it’s all I’ve ever known
But they tell me to go sober
And I can’t cut off from the cards I was thrown

Take me the end of the world
Watch me consider jumping over the edge
I’ll be right there at the ledge
And the world wants me to be dead

I’ve gone through the struggle
I’ve gone through the war
I’ve gone through hell twice
And I won’t anymore
The world’s on my platter
My life’s at my feet
But I step on my future
Dirt’s nothing to eat

I run
Circles around the truth
Honesty is hiding behind a suit
Lies ****
Just like ******
But no one thought to tell me it’s a sin
Drugs must be easier than
Hearing the monsters
And carving my skin
But drugs are just impostors.

They drown out the garbage
They will drown out accusers
But they drown out the future
And **** their abuser

I’ve gone through the struggle
I’ve gone through the war
I’ve gone through hell twice
And I won’t anymore
The world’s on my platter
My life’s at my feet
But I step on my future
Dirt’s nothing to eat

I want to end this once and for all
So no longer will I be the one who will fall
I’ll stand up straight, I’ll stand up tall
And my platter will be empty

— The End —
