They say there’s no hell,
Cause we’re living it now,
Humanity’s changed,
I don’t recognize how.
Hearts turned to stone,
Truth buried in lies,
People look living,
But dead in their eyes.
Our governments speak,
But they don’t really hear,
They promise us hope,
While they feed us fear.
Why is it justice
Is sold to the few?
We’re counted in numbers,
Not valued as you.
People are hurting,
Struggling to stand,
Reaching for help
From an empty hand.
Take me back to the good old days,
Before the world was lost in haze,
When life felt light,
And love was free,
We dreamed without chains,
More carefree than we’ll ever be.
People use and abuse,
Take more than they give,
They drain your soul
Just to feel how they live.
Even the ones
You thought truly cared,
Turn their backs on you
Like you were never there.
You trust with your heart,
They sharpen the blade,
Smile to your face
While plans are made.
You turn away once,
Feel the knife go through,
Then they twist the truth
And put the blame on you.
Where did compassion go
Where did kindness hide
We’re screaming for mercy
But swallowing pride.
This world keeps spinning,
But something feels wrong,
We’re surviving days
That feel painfully long.
Take me back to the good old days,
Before love was lost in greed and praise,
When hope still lived
In you and me,
And life wasn’t hard,
Just wild and free.
We’ll all reach the end one day,
And everything we own will stay,
So hold your truth,
Let your heart be shown,
Cause love’s the only thing
We can take when we go.
Cause we’re living it now,
Humanity’s changed,
I don’t recognize how.
Hearts turned to stone,

But dead in their eyes.
