Our city screams with blinding lights
Where hollow souls give up the fight
Distant screams and endless nights
Every face a broken dream
A silent tear, a muted scream.
We built these walls on shallow ground
Who is left to tear them down?
Each promise we make, each lie we keep,
We build a grave for hope so deep.
We sneak for progress so loud and proud
But all I hear is a choking crowd
We preach for futures bright and wide
Yet trample those who stand beside
Is this the best that we can be?
This twisted sick society?
A mirror cracked to blind to see
A world of pain, hypocrisy.
