I'm scared.
Scared of what could be
Scared of what has been
Scared of all the moments that never happened.

I'm clinging to this fantasy of peace and togetherness
But the problem is with the mess in this
There's no peace when there's war
There's no love when there's hate
So why did I think I could change all of our fate

The world will break and remain broken
Fear will overpower the change we keep hoping
For
We know we can't make a difference
And all we need is for someone to listen

Throw out the pain and forgive the misfits
Change only comes when you let it
Praise the dedicated
**** the wicked
And push away the bigots

We don't need hate
We don't need violence
We need a reality check
And a hell of a lot of silence
From politicians who don't give a ****

Rather than fight for the people
Lawmakers are willing to let the people die
They **** the dream of a bright future
They ruin the idea of a safe place
Hiding their face behind
Corporations who pay them to keep shut
