Contagion

Infected by superstition like cockroaches we multiply

We’re lost in the battle frozen by what we see

Like parasites we feed negative thoughts we breed

This world suffers in agony and no one here is free

We are alive in this moment until reality sets in

We are fed all the lies until it becomes the truth

But we know deep inside there’s something not right

We will rise to find out what it means to fight for our own lives

Until we do we must change our attitude on life

And love again and know wrong from right

To be the difference in a world that succumbed to peer pressure

We must remember what it means to be better

Contaminated by the hate until humanity is dead

Lost we are wandering in search of a vaccine

Diseased we are spreading engulfed into the flames

We are told not to think for ourselves and follow what’s mainstream

We are alive in this moment until reality sets in

We are fed all the lies until it becomes the truth

But we know deep inside there’s something not right

We will rise to find out what it means to fight for our own lives

Until we do we must change our attitude on life

And love again and know wrong from right

To be the difference in a world that succumbed to peer pressure

We must remember what it means to be better
