Crazy place
I lie to my brain to keep my heart from crying
my hands want love, but my arms are dying
our world is a crazy place
we see something pretty we have to lust
our failures are what society tends to hold us captive of
they say it's our generation, but that's not the case
who raised these these children is what I ask
dont sit there and try to hide something that you can only mask
you try to change them, but look into this other task
understand...... They're hurting the world is crying
children taunted by self hate have no way out by dying
teach the world to love, like geometry class
inhale love exhale hate
create the high before it's to late, make it last
theses kids have scars from the tears they've shed
who are we to not help them and sooth their fears
i can't do it by myself, so frustrating
turning down broken hearts due to lack of arms, it's heart breaking
a heart, two hands, and a conscience is enough to keep a million hearts from aching
