Sliding off into the emotional ditches
This time clouded with anger
I thought it doesn't matter
So why even bother?
Cos its never gonna change

I blow up and I don't know why
This ill temper I have in me is making me sad
But I can fight through this burned and bruised
Until the pieces of my heart know peace
Cos pain is the drug I always abuse

This universe seems so cruel and unjust
Children crying out for justice
The innocent yelling and sobbing for mercy
Yet the powerful still deny them their freedom
Where is our sense of humanity?

I hate this world not humanity
Tell me the deeper meaning of human existence
Show me the love which was a unifying spirit
Love which was once the common spiritual denominator
Now a word with much time for individual sentiments

Po-li-tricks is the game now
People in politics without principle
Enjoying the pleasures without conscience
They can't stop you from breathing
But they can stop you from thinking

A part of us may be gone
But the humanity in us should hold on
Let's walk up the earth
Opening our eyes to humanity
