In the Dark

They say love is blind but hate is blinding
You speak of what you forgot with no need of reminding
Me of what I lost on a road so winding
In the dark hate is all Im finding

I need a light in a place that I cant see
I need to fight for a place so I can be
In these shackles I tell you that Im free
And no one can take that away from me

I feel as if Im over there but I am right here
I see reality wih my own eyes but its unclear
The truh is so far but it feels so near
And all the while Im alone with my fear

In the darkness I see all of reality
But not the same one with you and me
Its a different one cant you see
One where each of us is free

But we dont live there; were right here
A place of insanity; a place of fear
A place of echoes that no one hears
A palce where blood is shed but not tears

Its a place of food but eternal starvation
A place of giving but constant depravation
We live in a unity of fractured nations
A place of hard work but never dedication

Droughts plague a world where rivers run red
Life is struggling in a place thats so dead
In a world of false leaders people are led
Blood stains the spot where tears were once shed

War takes dominance over peace
Theres a stop of love but hate will never cease
As time goes on death tolls increase
People are trying to live in the land of the deceased

Loans are given with the expectation of more
The rich are getting richer and the poor stay poor
Some of these economies dont work anymore
They look good on the surface; but are rotten at the core

We follow fashion; we follow design
We follow the victors and the rest resign
The trivial is important and we never pine
What is serious was never mine
