Our Games of Tears
I never felt like anyone
Should take their life away
Now I’ve started to run
Wondering if I’m late
These games of tears
Sipping poisoned lakes
Knowing that we fear
All the lies we ate
Reminiscing on
Society's abuse and hate
Singing songs of love
While we fill our plates
With blissful ignorance
We know it’s free to take
When society is
In a brainwashed state
And we are not what we want
But we are what we all see
When others’ tragedies come around
Our knees will go weak
And then there will be
Dreadful lies
Mixed with ocean tides
Do you see water or blood at your feet?
