As I stare through the toxic fumes I realize that our future, like my patience, is dead Our empty glass towers The decaying bones of our self-serving greed But still there echoes the song of hope Played on in faint melodies Reaching from the ashes of our collapse Grasping for any remaining human hands willing to pull it out And embrace it with newfound love Ready to start again Ready to live again Break down the chains that imprison you To a life full of sorrow and strife Wasting your days and wasting your nights Hoping someday you'll wake up Wake up from your nightmare Waves of despair crashing, repeating The pressure of your life suffocating, unrelenting Look inside your empty box and find hope
