Dreams of War

Suffocating in lies and hate
That the world created
For your own pleasure
For your stress levels
This isn't happening
The world's mishappenings
This is all just make believe

Dreams of war
Hope for peace
Love is lost
And hate deceives
What is perfect
In a world
Where everything turns on you?

Dry mouths and teary eyes
Starving kids get terrorized
What's wrong with everything
That I learned today?
Why can't something good
Happen from our deeds?
We aren't the divine
Nor the Holy
But we can try
To make peace

Dreams of war
Hope for peace
Love is lost
And hate deceives
What is right
In a world
Where things are never what they seem?

Hoping for a world of peace
But it seems lost
As love seems to leave
We can try harder
But it seems pointless
Making this world better
For you and me

Dreams of war
Hope for peace
Love is lost
And hate deceives
What is wrong
Yet what is right?

Life is short in this bloody fight
