Nightmare

Oh mother, oh Father
What's going on with our sons and our daughters?
What's that in the air, something's in the water
I can tell
This world is a nuisance
All these eyes look upon me so ruthless
I'm just trying to find where the groove went
To stay alive, oh

I've been running in circles
I can't sleep, and when I do
It's a nightmare, and I
Wake up with hope that you might care
Oh, where were you?
When I was sinking and crying for help?
I'm trying to yell, but I'm dying as well
So why even put up a fight?

They only love me when I dance with a smile
I put on this mask as I'm living in denial
These bodies going viral but end up in the same ground
As this wretched blue planet I stand on right now
It's a mess out there
I don't wanna be alone, can't second guess out there
One second, flip the phone, everybody's stressed out there
I'm just another passerby
Sick and tired always asking why, asking why, asking why

I've been running in circles
I can't sleep, and when I do
It's a nightmare, and I
Wake up with hope that you might care
Oh, where were you?
When I was sinking and crying for help?
I'm trying to yell, but I'm dying as well
So why even put up a fight?

Oh mother, oh Father
What's going on with our sons and our daughters?
What's that in the air, something's in the water
I can tell
This world is a nuisance
All these eyes look upon me so ruthless
I'm just trying to find where the groove went
To stay alive, oh

I've been running in circles
I can't sleep, and when I do
It's a nightmare, and I
Wake up with hope that you might care
Oh, where were you?
When I was sinking and crying for help?
I'm trying to yell, but I'm dying as well
So why even put up a fight?

Where were you?
Dying, why?
