This Dream (Explicit)

I used to close my eyes

And dream of peace.

But imagining

Was never enough.

Look outside the window—

Open your eyes to the pain.

We all turned away

While the world set fire again.

We call ourselves mankind,

But there's nothing kind about this.

I'm done imagining peace.

We've all lost our way.

We all need to wake from this dream.

We all need to change today.

We fight each other just to survive

When we could work together—and thrive.

I've watched the world divide

By gods and greed.

If your god demands this hate,

Then he means fuck all to me.

I've seen too much blood in his name

To believe it leads to peace.

I'm done imagining peace.

We've all lost our way.

We all need to wake from this dream.

We all need to change today.

We fight each other just to survive

When we could work together—and thrive.

I see we're killing ourselves.

I see we're killing Mother Earth.

We all need a little more tolerance.

We all need to open our hearts.

We all need to learn how to heal.

I'm done imagining peace.

We've all lost our way.

We all need to wake from this dream.

We all need to change today.

We fight each other just to survive

When we could work together—and thrive.

I used to dream we'd be okay.

Now I know

We change,

Or we fade away.
