World of Extremes

I lie, awake in fear
Voices they speak so obscene
Selling me, the road to salvation
Right from the TV screen.
Life here it comes
Ready, set, go - your wrong.
Dare take a side, and let reason decide -
You'll pay the price.
I'm running out -
It's my last ditch shout in defiance
I'm sick of this show, whose the enemy now?
Whose the saint?
I'm running out -
I'm a rebel endowed with a conscience
I'm sick of the pain, its a fruitless crusade,
for common sense.
I'm sorry I can't, just can't take, take another one second
Trading with hell, and I know what I'll sell gets me heaven
Tell me - I'm lost, what's the ultimate cost, what's it mean?
Fighting for right - in a world at the height of extremes
When I was, younger
My parents said college was key
The ticket to power
and secret to wisdom I'd need.
But now that I'm older
I see it's a whole different game
Illusion, is cheered as a savior
And ignorance made king.

What I Felt Today
06:21

Death is everywhere.
I could feel it today, under my skin,
under my breath-my tongue, the devils kin.
Death is everywhere.
I could touch it this way, with a glance,
steal it away, from one circumstance.
----
Here we are,
Our children say.
Here we are,
Won't you stay.
Here me now,
Another cries.
Where we are,
You once were, and must answer.
-----------
Death is everywhere
I faced it here, faced it loud and clear,
Wondering how I ever got back here
From loving you.
Death is everywhere,
Our children say, and we reply.
Do we stare into their eyes?
Do we offer whos and whys?
------
Here we are,
Our children say.
I faced them here, under the sun.
And in return, It never rose.
