When hope dies

Desensitized to the cries
There was a time when I could feel emotion
Media lies paralyze
Bring me absolution or let me drown in sin
Fragmented lives, weary minds
Now I know I'm still alive

The media has raped me of my sanity
Invading another once innocent mind
Instilling fear so deep inside of me
In a room without a view – six feet underground

Arrows lie deep inside
Rip the faith from my heart – so torn apart
Innocence left behind
But we need the truth, open our eyes to our youth
Purge my mind, leave me blind
I cannot watch as the world falls
My only memory beyond these four walls

Is there hope for the future of man?
Mother earth weeps for her land
And I fear everything but believe in nothing
Tempting lies, forsaken cries
Break me free from my own demise
And all will be for nothing…
When hope dies

Scared from the sorrows I have seen
Burned into my memory

Backing so far away
From the window to the world of disarray
Dying once again today
The world is not our own but all we’ve known
Instilling fear deep inside
Purge me of what I refuse to be
Is there anything left for me to believe?
