This Monochromatic World

What to do in a world

Dyed only in black and white

With no grey in between

Other hues locked out of sight

Where existence means nothing

And hatreds burn so bright

Where life is just another Hell

And the dark swallows up the light

Despite our desired blindness

Our suffering keeps us all aware

That our world has lost the battle

And left us in despair

Because now all we can so is nought

But just sit there and merely stare

Waiting for a miracle

That we all know is too rare

Life is meaningless and Death is so far away

Happiness is but a myth and love a distant memory

Both so lost and fleeting, never coming down our way

And its so hard to lie when it is so easy to see

How our heads all hang with the weight of all our misery

And despite the beliefs that the world we know is doomed

I can't just sit here and await my destined downfall

The sun still shines and there is the beauty of the moon

So not everything is dead, including the power of us all

Take my hand

Don't be afraid

We'll paint this world in color

And restore it back to the way it was made

We are not yet dead

So take my hand and never let it go

Because in this monochromatic world

Its not so hard to live when we aren't alone
