Pat D - Nightmares текст песни

Where does beauty lie? Not in this place
Bombing and hate and we’re lost in a haze
There’s no option today so we stop and we blaze
Kids are brought up with no hope — unconsciously raised
Other kids are unconscious — shot to the grave
Where’s our conscience? Does it not bother our ways?
And as honesty fades…
I realise nothing’s left
Battlefields, school playgrounds
Blood is shed
Little girls walk around looking upset
Following their role models' footsteps
Get a little older and they cook less
'cause they wanna weigh much less
That’s their way to success
And love’s wrecked nowadays
Husbands and wives with a frown on their face
Everything’s back to front and our ground is a waste
Built with money in mind — no-one's proud of this space
A whole life could be saved with one hourly rate
(Verse 2)
Now I’m drifting away to a horrible place
Where people are killing themselves for honouring faith
Others worship material — modelling makes
I look around but it seems no-one's stopping the hate
We’re locked in our ways — I’m seeing no progress
My heroes are dead — my inspirations flow less
Everybody’s depressed, feeling hopeless
No-one to turn to
You can’t trust anyone 'cause everybody hurts you
Pursue your dreams — get left disillusioned
We’re at a standstill but everybody’s moving
Crashing into one another — misdirected humans
It seems life’s a big game — everybody’s losing
Aiming to be proving a point that don’t matter
I turn on TV — a hundred bodies scattered
Love is shown through violence — everything is backwards
I never fell asleep so I can’t wake back up
(*sampled soul singing*)
