He's Back

Woke up to sights
Of Him, not to far away
They, it's happening again
He's come to stay
Oh, while we toss and turn
Go on, watch the world burn

I won't lie to you
Never thought we'd be here
He's back, He's back
Oh God, the ruins of humanity
And I can smell the sweetness of spring
But the aftertaste's bitter

And all the words I could've said
Stuck in my throat
And all the words I should've found
Tumbling from my mind
In the loudest quiet I've ever known

I hear you, I feel you
Can't know what you're feeling
Helpless and hopeless
Staring at the ceiling
I'm crying my tears not for me
But for strangers
Who keep up, and hold out
Through all of the danger
The children, the children
Just what will you tell them
Big Man within white walls
Set to go to hell then!
Abusing your power
Only to abuse them
How do you sleep
How do you sleep at night

I want so bad to believe
That we'll be alright
A man said, see history
The Good wins every time
In the end
The optimist looks at destruction and pain
And sees flowers that will be growing again
