There are good people in this world
Amidst the marionettes
Wielding bayonets
Destroyers of sunset
Consequences that cannot be offset
Amidst a cold sweat
Pacing around a threat
Easy to forget
The world burning like a cigarette
Amidst all our debt
A duet, ancient and unfurled

Authentic fly
Artifical leaf
Life into death
Free from the make-believe

You are a myth, unreal
I am the surreal, ethereal
Silk hiding beneath steel
All you know is how to conceal
Disappointment from the ideal
So tell me, how do you really feel?
As the wheel of fate
Turns to your last repeal

"Your life is special"
"You were born for greatness"
As the last of my energy fades
"Today is a blessing, tomorrow is a gift"
But the chains of yesterday scare me stiff
This life is no reward, I need a rewind
Going back to the peaceful moments
I never thought I would survive
Never been more free
Never felt this much misery
So please tell me, tell me please
What kind of place do you want to be?
As our friends fade, our happiness decays
Too busy to live when we enjoy the mundane
Every day, all the same
No wonder people go insane
How can a life be lived when it is all the same?

In a world that seeks to divide
Why am I the one who is still alive?
What future is worth all of this strife?
Everytime my heart is proven right
I lose the will to fight
Tell me what am I fighting for?
I can't recall the reason anymore

On this glorious day
Full of celebration
Elation plastered faces
What expression covers your face?
Knowing that our future will be a waste?
Fighting forever for freedom
Our own objectives
Overwhelmed by the offensive
So now speak with me, sultry sirens
Hey, is this the real world
Or the cost of fate by ingrates?
Parading around our pinnacle
Surviving by becoming criminals
Our ultimate punishment
For being born into a home
With no freedom to roam

In the sky, ground, space
Is there no more tomorrow?
Embraced waste, distaste
