The Silver Screen Lyrics

So it seems, the world's divided into extremes

Brainwashed fools

Whose minds are lost in the sickness they fuel

We live in a hateful world where we only care for ourselves

What happened to empathy

Has it been consigned to history?

Corporate greed

The spineless rich are a poisonous weed

We pretend they're not hoarding money that they'll never spend

We live in a hateful world where we only care for ourselves

What happened to empathy

Has it been consigned to history?

Sometimes I feel I can't go on

That all of my hope is gone

I need distractions from the truth

Can't always deal with the burden of youth

And the horrors of the world

On the silver screen that world is gone

The romance and thrills they comfort me

With the purest of hearts laid plain to see

In my reverie I can live a fantasy

I forgot the world for a moment

I almost believed it was true

I forgot the world for a moment

I almost believed it was true

The lights come up, and nothing's changed out there

But for a flash, my heart it soared

And I know that nothing can take that away from me
