Numb

You don’t want to see

The pain, and the hate and the lies before your eyes;

The suffering, the anguish, the untold misery;

The pain written on the faces of masses;

You prefer to live your life looking through rose-colored glasses.

Traveling through our everyday lives, who sees the tragedy?

Living our lives blind to all the poverty;

Children on the streets; world-wide starvation;

Living on the brink of our own annihilation;

Turning a blind eye to the world’s disposition;

Each day we’re slowly lulled into submission;

Indulging ourselves in life’s temptations;

We’ve become deaf to the world’s lamentations.

You, you have no idea of the thoughts that reside,

That reside deep, deep inside my mind;

If you would open your eyes you would see, then you’d be inclined

To understand my hatred, hatred for mankind

Drowning in a world obsessed with its possessions;

Living in the wealthiest of all nations;

We call out to the heavens to try to find some meaning;

What happened to your God? He isn’t intervening.

Hate, I hate

I hate this world, For all the pain and I hate myself,

I hate you more, For all your lies

What are you gonna do? When the Devil brings the hate out on you?
