All this **** in the world right now, let me tell you,
It gets harder and harder to feel anything,
And we wonder why kids are breaking down,
Crying in the dark;
It's cause society is blind.

We were sold a lie.
Don't you see
You've been brainwashed too?
We were told it's survival of the fittest
So we decided to **** each other up.

How the **** can we call each other human
When we've forgotten about compassion?

I'm telling you right here, right now,
You're my brother,
You're my sister,
You don't have to feel alone.
We the broken
Need to keep each other company.

Here's my hand,
Reach for it.
It doesn't matter to me
What you've said or done.
You're not your mistakes,
You're not your worst moment,
You're not the bad you've done.

I don't care for likes or digital hearts;
I'm here to speak to the soul of those without a home,
To the kid who killed himself the other day
Cause everybody told him he was on his own,
To the poets who put pain to paper
Cause it's too much for their hearts.

We can't save the world,
That's a doomed proposition,
But we have to save the people.
I'm so tired of seeing beautiful flowers
Die in the winter.
