Dystopian Fiction

Take out all the bad in the world
What's left in it?
Where's the next gleaming hope indefinite
I would like to take a stand but not alone
Gave you what I had to give
And it's not enough
I need a shred of purpose
When living gets rough
I need a place unbroken to call my home

Dark times of our war crimes
When the bombs we build come
Back down through the roof we are live wires
In the crossfire and the pages of our
Lives aren't bulletproof i'm a dead man
In the wasteland
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
Under search lights in the long nights
We've been written like dystopian fiction

Love exists in pain even in our tragedy
When the world spins and we lose our gravity
Nobody can shoot me down, not just yet
Voices of the crowd
We're screaming into the rain
When those above us have long gone insane
Give me the strength I need to forget

Dark times of our war crimes
When the bombs we build come
Back down through the roof we are live wires
In the crossfire and the pages of our
Lives aren't bulletproof i'm a dead man
In the wasteland
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
Under search lights in the long nights
We've been written like dystopian fiction

I don't want to look back now
But I can't find the way out
I won't do it on my own
We are stronger now as one
We will never have to run
Or face the world alone

Dark times of our war crimes
When the bombs we build come
Back down through the roof we are live wires
In the crossfire and the pages of our
Lives aren't bulletproof i'm a dead man
In the wasteland
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
Under search lights in the long nights
We've been written like dystopian fiction
