World Of One

if all of this washed away,
would i be an open hand
or would i just be insignificant?

none of us have the time to be
callused, careless hearts
but could we be
more significant?

we’re just empty faces
filling empty spaces
is this all that we are?

i will not break
i will not hate
why can’t we see what we’ve become?
i will not cry
i will not lie
i will not live in a world of one

for something so beautiful
we can’t seem to treat it kindly
but soon the beauty fades

into empty faces
filling empty spaces
is this all that we are?

i will not break
i will not hate
why can’t we see what we’ve become?
i will not cry
i will not lie
i will not live in a world of one

there’s never a time to change
there’s never an end to pain
there’s never a perfect day

we’re never too strong to bleed
it’s never been weak to need
and no one should die for greed

breath the same
love the same
touch the same
break the same
fall the same
change the same
hold the same
hurt the same
cry the same
need the same
run the same
grieve the same
hide the same
laugh the same
live the same
die the same

i will not break
i will not hate
why can’t we see what we’ve become?
i will not cry
i will not lie
i will not live in a world of one
