A Sketch

Shattered skies, behind blue eyes tonight
Memorized your reflection in your mind
Look up at the stars light up like angels in the night
Announcing gladness and times of joy
And you listened through the years, behind sorrow and tears
Till you forgot how that song used to go
Faith was just another game you played to pass the time
In this world, the only world you know
A world of pain and misery, hysterics and hypocracy
No angels here to fly above your head
You lie broken in the moment, twisted just to feel alive
There is no comfort in the person in your bed

And where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love

Drowning in the music, trying to go against the current
Doing just enough to hurt the ones you love
Careless, reckless, that's what they say of you, though they know the same is true
Of everyone who tried to rise above
And it turns upon you again while your heart takes a spin
Tell me is this what you dreamed of
And you're no better then that, my dear, you can't expect the same
Out of anyone, anyone

And where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love

I wrote this a few days ago, still working with it, but I'm pretty happy so far. Thought I'd share.
