Black & White

What used to be so black and white
Is now just gray and out of sight
We’ve blurred the lines that used to be
They’re just a distant memory
All the things we know are wrong
We do them just to get along
All the things we know are right
Are lost in the fog, no longer white
What made us choose this road?
We’re not the people we used to know
The pressure from every direction
Pulls at us, destroys perfection
Everything that used to be
Is all just a dream to me
Where did we lose our soul?
We stopped, dropped, and let it roll
There’s no turning back this time
My body is no longer mine
We believe there’s no use pretending
There’s no such thing as a happy ening
My life I gave, but for what fight?
I died rediscovering black and white.

[for my school, me, and the general student body with all its ignorance. please don't copy, thanks.]

    This whole part
