(Inspired by contestr on SRPP forum)
What is wrong with the world today?
Turned upside down and inside out
The truth is staring us in the face
And we turn it off and tune it out
We could fix this you know, you and I
We can do anything that we want to do
So come take my hand, now don’t be shy
Speak from your heart, make the words ring true
It needs to be told- the story of how
Our world quickly came crashing down
And how the power of hope can fix it now
It won’t work to stay silent, not making a sound
This won’t disappear or end on its own
The wanton battle has already begun
If we turn our backs and walk away now
The other side will have already won
Alone, cold and afraid
Staring into the darkness
Of an unending night
Bend, fold and contort
Yielding to the whims
Of the mindless fight
Crash, bleed and burn
Surrendering to the hate
Of the dying light
Duty, soul and tears
Stealing away the life
Of any hope for delight
Palindrome
I'm just sitting here
Staring at the screen
not knowing what to say
The words just don't come
They are stuck in my head
And there is never enough time
So here you go
this is all you will get
never again will I say it
you are erased from me
never again will I say it
this is all you will get
So here you go
And there is never enough time
They are stuck in my head-
The words just don't come
not knowing what to say
Staring at the screen
I'm just sitting here
