Dream Tower

We turn on the TV
Watch someone die
Hate and brutality become the day

We say we care
Yet we don't cry
Why does society feel this way?

The past was filled with sunny days
And promising starry nights

So odd how fast it's changed
Just yesterday the grass was green
This is so very strange

We live in fear
Of everyone else
Our hearts are numb to the plight of our world

Strong is our spite
Yet weak our pulse
We sit back and relax as evil unfurls

Maybe this is just illusion
Maybe it's just me

Hope to live to see the day
This stormy winter ends
To see the black snow melt away

I walk through the sand dunes
That gleam with a black sheen
Everything looks so scary
But I cannot scream

We're trapped in this slumber world
Living inside our own heads
Can we escape from this nightmare
Is this it
Are we dead?

Our feelings are numb
Our morals are black
What we don't realize, this anger and pain

A generation
Raised on hate
Spread its black wings and takes to the night

Maybe this is just illusion
Maybe it's just me

But this fiery weather and near demise
Will come to pass as soon as we together rise
