"Dancing With A Stranger" lyrics
"Dancing With A Stranger"
There is war in the streets and the hearts
There is pain in the tears and the scars
There is hate in the eyes of your child
And the worst of it all is its right
In their eyes I see the image of a fading sun
I can see the colours run
What have we become
Open gates set the stage for a clash of cultures
The future is blurred and more challenges occur
What's wrong with these times is
A life is not worth more
Than the money that supplies it
Our minds are paralyzed and terrorized
By the unknown being demonized
As a parasite
There's no real rescue, no salvation
In how many deaths were they involved
Just to pride themselves for being saviors
We make ourselves feel different
Just to feel safe again
There's always something to resent
To reassure us of our identity
You're seeding hate
In your own lines
You're seeding hate
Just to divide the world
I don't want to witness the harvest yet
And with everything that we leave behind
We know that this world must die out
There's only death at the borders of our hearts
Dreams of hope but they all fell apart
Could you look in the eyes of your child
And tell 'em what were doing is right
Nothing is alright
I could easily scream out my mind every day
'Cause it's easy to say what is wrong with this world
But reality around me will never change by me pointing at enemies
Change comes from within so make peace with your fears
The future is frightening but we're deciding
You will not be surprised
Who will survive so don't close your eyes
All they have is their lives
Consumed by demons you won't look into a new face
With empathy
Because all you know is hatred

Better Lovers - "Love As An Act Of Rebellion" Try to disgrace me
But you can't face me
Never hear when perpetually loud
Adolescent mind
Move backwards in time
No one has yesterday without tomorrow
Hate in a heart has no place in our world now...
Novelists - "All For Nothing" I'd be dreaming of it all
A great design
Love is fleeting
It's dawning on me that hope is blinding
It's like my world is going mad
While I'm running out of air
Love is fleeting
It's dawning on me...
156/Silence - "Target Acquired" Fear manifested
Accumulating years inundated
I'll process this in tiers
One I'm one with
Two to forget I'm here
Three offenses for following forged hands across solvents
I'll down potions and pass...
LANDMVRKS - "The Darkest Place I've Ever Been" Trapped in a cage made of fears
It's all that I know
I designed it all just so I can't leave
Of all the places that I've seen
And all the monsters in my dreams
It feels like the darkest place that...
Half Me - "Quitter Talk" Yeah, I'm using again, it takes all that I have
Bold words from an addict
How can I pick myself up?
I'm past the breaking point and there is no way to stop
I'm giving in
This is a desperate cycle...
