Mass confusion
Can't seem to get ahead
Sometimes I don't want to even get out of my bed.
Hard surviving these days
Promising to change my ways
Slowly making my way from here to there
Do I even care
I don't even know
Where it is I'm supposed to go
Which way I should be going
No way of knowing
There are no signs pointing my way
No person that will say
That is the way to your tomorrow
Their opinion I did not even borrow
Searching for this land of no sorrow
Always pointing me in the wrong way
Sometimes unsure, so in place I stay
Trying to rise above the average normalcy
That is everywhere I see
Whom amongst us are truly free
From promises of a better future for all
Build that wall
Stacking broken words that are bound to fall
Just eave me alone
My heart's not made of stone
Just speak to us clear
Don't get us lost in fear
I need to be shown
My heart is homegrown
Clear my way
To a better day
Clear my path from the confusion
Left in a delusion
That all of this is okay
Are we better off today
Have we lost our way.
What does that even mean
That remains unseen
Words meant to confuse
Makes it hard to choose
What is wrong what is right
Lost to the night
As our world comes crashing down
In hate it seems to drown
Their hate pulls into the lead
Making the world bleed
Lead or get out of the way
Who is here to stay
Where are we going
Is anyone even in the knowing
The pressure is growing
Step back
Hate is on the attack
The cork is about to blow
I have no wish to see that show
Lost our way
Are we here to stay
Hope not
Cause here we may rot
To the point of no return
Is this the future that we did earn
Dim as night
This can't be right
Is there even a cure
For a tomorrow that is so unsure
Close my eyes
Only time flies
Step into the unknown
Faith has shown
Stand tall
Don't become part of the wall
Sooner or later it will fall
Close your eyes
Forget the lies
Let your heart lead your way
Pride
Lied
To yourself be true
Is the sky really blue
Guess that is up to you
