Cried
Sitting here watching wide eyed
Maybe I cried
When the world gave up and no longer tried
Seeing the actions this could bring
Watching and wondering Maybe out loud
Cause a silent voice get lost in the crowd
Times no longer on our side
When our words we must hide
Showing no compassion
Seems the new fashion
See how far that goes
When love no longer shows
Who knows
Feel no pain
Life held in disdain
Is this really how it's supposed to be
Guess we'll just wait and see
On our way
So much closer each day
Words that no longer come free
Hearts no one may see
Look ma, no strings
Just brainless walking beings
In the silence a heartbeat sound so loud
Alone in every crowd
A closed heart can never feel
Locked in everyone elses will
So many a word
Never to be heard
Robots we have become
Does that not bother some
Maybe my words sound dumb
This is what I see
The world as it may someday be
