Paradigm

In all my dreams
I cannot remember a time
When the world could peacefully flourish into something great
It just becomes another organized mess
Too silent, too calm
The land becomes gray like death
The past, the color, the sound, the smell
Of the vast desolation
Is all I’ve ever felt
We live in silence, trampled by ignorance
A product of violence
Created to corrupt the next generation
We die in silence
Nothing needs to be said
We’ve molded the future
Just to cut it off at the head
Open your eyes
And look at what we’ve done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
We are the reason
That children run to their homes
They fear the night and barricade themselves inside their minds
Holding onto their innocence
That brings them shelter
And keeps them alive
In all my dreams
I cannot remember a time
When the world could peacefully flourish into something great
It just becomes another organized mess
Take their hand
Show them what can be achieved
When you take a twisted world and make it worse than it seems
(Worse than it seems)
Open your eyes
And look at what we’ve done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
Open your eyes
And look at what we’ve done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
Morality is broken
Forever shattered
With no way to heal
They’ll never stand a chance
We are all evil
The light of the future is eclipsed
No hope for the youth
Their eyes are open
It’s the way the paradigm always shifts
