The Dying Race

Lovers, forget that things can be so bad
Brothers, take your turn at being sad
Mothers, save us from the worlds true face
Fathers, teach us why we have to hate

Stranger, why do you always seem to hide?
Danger, I sense it every time you lie
Your mask is wearing you
It saves you from all that's true

Nothing can seem to change
Our lives are all the same
It seems we can not rearrange
No one can ever hold the blame

Use us, it seems that it is all you do
Lose us, I now know that I use you too
It seems that there is no way through
Our lies are spread, we're doomed

Nothing will ever change
Our lives are all the same
We can never rearrange
No one can ever hold the blame

Look up, stop ignoring what's out there
Grow up, just choose the reasons why you care
Our lives are one, why can't you see?
Your bitterness will stop us from being
Soon we will just cease to be
We die the second we're not free
