Nightmares

Where does beauty lie? Not in this place

Bombing and hate and we’re lost in a haze

There’s no option today so we stop and we blaze

Kids are brought up with no hope – unconsciously raised

Other kids are unconscious – shot to the grave

Where’s our conscience? Does it not bother our ways?

And as honesty fades…

I realise nothing’s left

Battlefields, school playgrounds

Blood is shed

Little girls walk around looking upset

Following their role models’ footsteps

Get a little older and they cook less

'cause they wanna weigh much less

That’s their way to success

And love’s wrecked nowadays

Husbands and wives with a frown on their face

Everything’s back to front and our ground is a waste

Built with money in mind – no-one’s proud of this space

A whole life could be saved with one hourly rate

Now I’m drifting away to a horrible place

Where people are killing themselves for honouring faith

Others worship material – modelling makes

I look around but it seems no-one’s stopping the hate

We’re locked in our ways – I’m seeing no progress

My heroes are dead – my inspirations flow less

Everybody’s depressed, feeling hopeless

No-one to turn to

You can’t trust anyone 'cause everybody hurts you

Pursue your dreams – get left disillusioned

We’re at a standstill but everybody’s moving

Crashing into one another – misdirected humans

It seems life’s a big game – everybody's losing

Aiming to be proving a point that don’t matter

I turn on TV – a hundred bodies scattered

Love is shown through violence – everything is backwards

I never fell asleep so I can’t wake back up
