Paradigm

In all my dreams
I cannot remember a time
When the world could peacefully flourish
Into something great
It just becomes another organized mess

Too silent, too calm
The land becomes gray like death
The past, the color, the sound, the smell
Of the vast desolation
Is all I've ever felt

We live in silence
Trampled by ignorance
A product of violence
Created tô corrupt
The next generation
We die in silence

Nothing needs tô be said
We've molded the future
Just tô cut it off at the head
Open your eyes and look at what we've done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
We are the reason

That children run tô their homes
They fear the night
And barricade themselves
Inside their minds
Holding on tô their innocence
That brings them shelter
And keeps them alive

In all my dreams
I cannot remember a time
When the world could peacefully flourish
Into something great
It just becomes another organized mess
Take their hand
Show them what can be achieved

When you take a twisted world and make it worse than it seems
(It worse than it seems)
Open your eyes and look at what we've done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world

Open your eyes and look at what we've done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
Morality is broken
Forever shattered

With no way tô heal
They'll never stand a chance
We are all evil
The light of the future is eclipsed
No hope for the youth
Their eyes are open
It's the way the paradigm always shifts
