Drowning World

The world is drowning in a sea of tears
We use our phobias and our fears
To create a world where no one lives
Where pain is all we tend to give

The smiles just fade like evening sun
We let ignorance replace what’s done
It’s no use crying when the game is lost
So we have our victory but at what cost

The sun it shines down on a barren land
Where bones protrude from skeletal hands
Where flies the time and what holds true
Why bother with ignorance when there is you

There is no future if we can’t hold the past
There’s only pain and that will last
For what a legacy we leave for those behind
When we leave this world to another kind

Lets hope they learn from what we are
That they see the heavens, not just the stars
For the lease is ours but good tenants we are not
Lets hope they remember what we have forgot

That we don’t own this earth and that is the truth
Its something we learn in the days of our youth
But it just seems to fade, and the memories hide
And they only comeback with the tears that we’ve cried

As the water it flows to soak in the earth
To return to the soil the place of our birth
Do they rise to the clouds like birds to the sky?
And the heavens welcome them with an audible sigh

So let the earth cry for what do we care
We will not live forever, we will not always be there
But remember the future will be there no matter what
For our children and theirs or have you forgot
