Long nights.
Rundown places,
Bright lights.
Lonely kids,
Running around.
Hardly surviving,
Goin' town to town.
Midnight market raids,
Early morning train rides.
No walking, always running,
There's no more innocent side.
All grown-up,
At age fourteen.
A boy with no family,
Drinkin' rum from a canteen.
Mad as hell,
Real lost too.
Keep on running,
With no where to run too.
He doesn't know where he's going,
Just as long as it's far away,
From all of this pain,
Anxiety and dismay.
He's just a kid,
Man what went wrong,
For this boy to believe,
His life is long gone.
~
Dark clubs,
People wasted.
Drink after drink,
Without even tastin'.
Women getting tipsy,
Leaving home for strangers.
Guys thinking they're gonna get lucky,
Everyone's in danger.
Suddenly we've got mothers
Who don't know their child's father.
Making love becomes painful
When there's no longer a lover.
She got kicked out,
So she chose adoption.
She can't take this anymore,
There's no easy option.
So she was asking for it?
Somehow this is her fault?
That's funny, because she never gave anyone
The key to her vault.
~
Loud noises,
Broken glasses.
Cold floors,
Taunting classes.
This pain's too much,
He's heartbroken.
He didn't ask for this,
He's not just some token.
Why are you so shocked?
Your words carved like a knife.
You told him everyday,
To take his own life.
How do you feel?
Now that he has.
Have you seen his family?
They walk in a trance.
Where did he go wrong?
Please, tell me where?
Can you believe it took his absense,
For someone to become aware?
~
Asking questions,
Cameras flashin'.
Some shout support,
Others trash talkin'.
He's an idol,
She's legendary.
Sure they're smiling.
But happy? Barely.
No private lives,
No personal space.
And all because,
They have that face.
Because he needs makeup
To have an attractive face.
And in order to be pretty,
She has to wear lace.
Because society has double meanings,
It's got everyone caught.
And sometimes what's hate,
Outweighs all that's not.
Now she's wasted,
There's nothing left to do.
Now he's dead,
Haters got that too.
And if we loved them so much,
Someone please tell me why,
We didn't tell them so,
When they were still alive?
Make it stop,
Turn it off.
Don't you ever wonder,
When enough is enough?
Cold.
Empty.
Broken.
Is this really the world we live in?
Love.
Peace.
Happiness.
Where'd it go? Oh what a cease.
Please, look around
And offer a hand,
If the person beside you,
Can't seem to land.
I know what it seems,
But the world doesn't have to be
This cruel and heartless,
World which we see.
Children should have families,
Not alcohol on the streets.
And with a mother should be a father,
Not a woman abandoned in the sheets.
Kids should not be bullied,
And pushed to suicide.
Idols should not be torn apart,
But supported with love and pride.
The world is cruel,
But if you just look around,
Someone out there
Wants you to stay safe and sound.
I promise this pain will pass,
And so will this sorrow.
And in place you will find,
A beautiful Tomorrow.

In loving memory of all of our heroes, stars, and loved ones which have passed:
-Lee Ui Soo
-Kim Jonghyun
-Robin Williams
-Carrie Fisher
-Alan Rickman
-John Hurt
-And everybody else
May those with depression, those abused, those with scars, and everything else, soon heal, be safe, and find a love and peace with themselves.
And in loving memory of all those who have passed due to their own hand.
We miss you. We love you. May you rest easy, until we meet again.
