After All

I felt the pulse of modern times

I know that soon enough it'll die

We're all gonna die

And if you want to be heard

Just make some noise

It's not that hard

Just raise your voice like

Oh, I needed to be told

I'm in control

Guess I have a soul after all

And don't you know that you are

Beautiful to me

And wherever you are going

Well I hope it's heavenly

I found god

He said if you feel hopeless

I promise you're not

Despite what needs to be said

Most things remain unspoken

I'm craving an actual conversation

Illness dressed in normalcy

I see every forsaken thing

And I'd gouge out my eyes

If it would help me sleep

It dawns and it dims in me every day

This hopelessness, this learned shame

But now I know that I am innocent to me

And as long as I am here

I'll find a way to make it heavenly

I found god

She said if you feel hopeless

I promise you're not

I hope you know I only wish you

Peace, love, and someone to share them with

Good comes around when hate grows too strong

For anyone to sit still anymore

And I trust we're nearly there

And I never meant to do wrong by you

Old friend, stranger, whether good or temporary

It doesn't matter, we turn to gold

And never rust, our value invented

So, I leave you with this

You're so much stronger than you know

You've sown the seeds and watch them grow

You're life's a garden of your own design

Soon enough the moon will rise

The sun will rest its weary eyes

When the time comes, do you give up

Oh no my dear, you've come so far

And I can see it in your eyes

You've still got fire in your heart

And we can't forget that the struggle never ends

And I'm a broken record saying

You aren't alone in it

I found god

They said if you feel hopeless

I promise you're not
