The Nightmare Never Ends

Head held high
Looking over a broken city
Wind blowing through the streets
A burning smell racing through the heat
Looking down on a sea of destruction
Everywhere I look, all I see is misery
Everywhere I hear, another innocent life is wasted

And I can't even hear my heartbeat
But I can hear my screams

Darkness light the day
Light darken the night
If I open my eyes
The nightmare never ends
If I open my ears
I'll never see your tears

Another detonation, another terror
Another group claiming for belief
Worst things in the world
Everything I see
Garland
Sandy Hook
ISIS
All justified by belief

And I can't even hear my heartbeat
But I can hear my screams

Politicians promise relief
But all they relieve is our wallets
Looking over a broken country
Wondering when it all will end
When we will bring ourselves to destruction

Darkness light the day
Light darken the night
If I open my eyes
The nightmare never ends
If I open my ears
I'll never see your tears

And I can't even hear my heartbeat
But I can hear my screams

More injustice
Looking over this broken world
Time will never slow
Slowing to a stop
Innovation cannot reach those set in their ways
Their ways
Silence, oppression, ostracism

Another parent abducts their own child
Another shooting
Another 9/11
Another broken country
Another broken world
