Numb

You don’t want to see
The pain, and the hate and the lies before your eyes
The suffering, the anguish, the untold misery
The pain written on the faces of masses
You prefer to live your life looking through rose-colored glasses.

Traveling through our everyday lives, who sees the tragedy?
Living our lives blind to all the poverty
Children on the streets world-wide starvation
Living on the brink of our own annihilation
Turning a blind eye to the world’s disposition
Each day we’re slowly lulled into submission
Indulging ourselves in life’s temptations
We’ve become deaf to the world’s lamentations.

You, you have no idea of the thoughts that reside,
That reside deep, deep inside my mind
If you would open your eyes you would see, then you’d be inclined
To understand my hatred, hatred for mankind

Drowning in a world obsessed with its possessions
Living in the wealthiest of all nations
We call out to the heavens to try to find some meaning
What happened to your God? He isn’t intervening.

Hate, I hate

I hate this world, For all the pain and I hate myself,
I hate you more, For all your lies
What are you gonna do? When the Devil brings the hate out on you?
