A Broken Silence - There They Go

[Verse 1:]
Flicking through photos as our childhood starts to fade away,
As we've grown seen some of the wildest,
Many of our greatest days.
Some succeeded, stagnated, didn't make the grade,
Some of us lost hope and put our faith up in the latest craze,
With something so potent they lost focus,
Couldn't stay sane.
Many dreams they went up in smoke
From the day they became a slave
Were they lost souls looking for ways to entertain their brain?
Couldn't strain friendships and made it hard,
To go against the grain.
On a lonely road where no one is on a quest for change,
To get control then at best you must confess today.
Barely a cent after rent, in a mess you stay,
Savings are spent, invested in the stress and decay
Do we rest the blame on the shoulders of society?
Who let it creep through although they know its notoriety?
If I could take your past and hold it where your eyes can see
To show you've joined a long line
That be folding up their brightest dreams.

[Chorus:]
Sometimes the city can suck you in to its habits
Where it's easier to sink than to manage,
Let it go!
Sometimes even the loudest people in a crowded place
Feel drowned out and start to think they're alone.
Another day, another broken dream...
We try to bring ‘em out the dark again but
There they go,
Don't know where to go,
Don't know where to go.
My city try to throw ‘em off, they don't know where to go.
Sometimes the city can suck you in to its habits
Where it's easier to sink than to manage,
Let it go!
Another day, another broken dream...
We try to bring them out the dark again but
There they go...

[Verse 2:]
Often I'm pacing, thoughts be racing,
Asking questions why the privileged waste
And those in despair make the best of life?
What separates those with lesser drive from the rest that shine?
Why do some rise up in testing times,
Some are less inclined?
Morals clouded, soaked up in these pesticides.
Couples giving birth, so the baby bonus cheque arrives,
We twisted, too slow to even get their vibe,
Went from A to B so quick, couldn't connect the lines
Since it got a grip on these streets and started clenching tight.
Tensions increase and so has tendencies to crime.
Bodies waste away
On those who were once the energetic type,
No class or race divides this epidemic strike.
It's not a new find, fragility of the human mind
But to reality many have shut the door,
Drew the blinds, isolated.
In this modern worlds new design
Where no one's got the time to try and stop ‘em
From the noose they're tying.

[Chorus: 3x]
