I say a prayer for the broken ones,
Whose tongues conspire against their minds,
Fixing their shattered heartbreaks,
Arranging the pieces because life was unkind,
I have not seen the last of you,
So don't tell me you won't make it through,
I'm not prepared for us to go down together,
Because tomorrow is the start of our forever

Remind me of when we swam through the stars,
Before words were sharp enough to leave scars,
Of how the world was not wrong to be right,
And our minds weren't darker than night.

I say a prayer for the chosen ones,
Who live in an infinite prosper,
Making a mess of themselves,
When they let their greed become the imposter,
I have seen the last of you,
Your ambitions of superiority have fallen through,
The ship will take us down together,
To drown out our thoughts of things getting better.

Remind me of when our skin was like stone,
Before words could break through to our bones,
Of how the world seems too right to be wrong,
And our minds were controlled to just play along.
