they say life's so tough to maneuver sometimes
hindsight's twenty twenty, we're all livin' so blind
mistakes shape your future, success fades away
life and death is a phrase, trouble accepting the day
tangled and torn, terrified, trapped in the vipers lair
people turn snake with hearts black as nights despair
icy veins and cold shoulders, fingers frostbitten
friends turn foe, hardly hanging on we linger, its not livin'
jealousy gnaws our souls, weighed down by envy's coat
enemies are many, cloaked in heavenly clothes
disguised to hide the truth, lies provide the proof
media outlets twist, intertwining mindless news
countries divided always fighting over Gods land
thinking we can change the world, but only our thoughts can
swimming rivers of pain, searching for fountains of youth
looking for an inner faith that sees mountain that move
love is rare, trust is fair, surrounded by more then hatred
attracted to each others faces, seems like fates a force of nature
