This world is broken - that's the truth of it
It's why some people keep fighting while others turn a blind eye and get used to it
Why fathers leave and mothers cry and single parents struggle to get by
Why families break and monsters **** and instead of helping, people hesitate
Why unborn babies still and brothers **** and all that once was good rebels against God's will
Why fires burn and chaos churns and darkness engulfs all worldly concern
Why people lie and loved ones die and addicted users turn criminal to get high
Why hope is shorn and love is scorned and the diseased and broken are forlorn
Why children are abused and darkness becomes a popular muse while innocence is refused
This world - our world, it's a constant battle people seem to consistently lose
