Sitting on a plane
minding your own
Get to the hotel
Check in
Lay down
Closed eyes
Open mind
Thinking peace at last
But it is your last
Your final moment
Sweet oblivion
Turns to darkness forever

You ever wonder how you're living your life
If you chose this path or just followed the one placed in front of you
Living each day displeased
Dying from unhappiness
Lying to people you care for
Just to save them from the pain you already feel

Trump wins I lose
Dark days Dark moons
Pale faces fill the room
Heads down bases covered white sheets hover We look up and only see eyes staring at us
With hateful expressions filling the room with despicable suggestions
We say love one another they say love one kind We say all lives matter they say Life is white no shades of gray or colors that fade only one kind matters
We see beauty they see ugliness we try to get the world to see the beauty too but the pain from years prior clouds peoples mind as it did before
Trump wins we all lose what does it say...

What do you do when you're lost?
Do you turn to God?
Or do you keep it hidden like a ghost
Why turn to a deity that you can't see
Or do you believe in a higher power up in the clouds

What do you do when you're lost?
Do you turn to death?
Or do you have hope that someone will save you
Why turn to life when the end is near
Or do you have hope that a savior will redeem you

What do you do when you're lost?
Do you try to find yourself?
Or do you stay lost forever
Why try to save yourself when you are no longer who you were
Or do you...
