Broken Promises

Scattered lives, unknowing voices

Broken glass, screwed up choices

What way are you going, what way did you chose

It doesn't matter, either way you will lose

I'm going down road thirty-three

Wondering what happened to humanity

Messed up confusion, to much stress

The price you pay to gain success

Broken promises, broken lies

Bleeding hearts, crying eyes

Suffocating, dying to breathe

You will get broken, if you believe

Things are not lost, they're taken

Anyone who says different is mistaken

Shattered mirrors, reflected abhor

Crushed perceptions, unobserved lore

The knowledge that's known, but nobody shares

Everyday I meet with all their stares

What are they thinking, I just don't care

The lesson of, life isn't fair

Broken promises, broken lies

Bleeding hearts, crying eyes

Suffocating, dying to breath

You will get broken, if you believe

We can't see, blinded by greed

Willing to do anything to succeed

But at the end, when we're dying alone

In the end the truth will be known

The world is just…

The world is just…

The world is just…

Broken promises, broken lies

Bleeding hearts, crying eyes

Suffocating, dying to breath

You will get broken, if you believe
