Verse I Smiles as it begins Cries at the end Our soul knows this path well For all of society to see For all of society to see Chorus Broken promises Just broken promises Some say it takes two But, I say it’s all on you Verse II White lies with a smile Acceptance with our tears Only seeing what we want to see Blinded by our lost dreams Blinded by our lost dreams Chorus Broken promises Just broken promises Some say it takes two But, I say it’s all on you Verse III Hiding like a child The evidence is always clear The enablers too strong to retreat Our world crumbling from the inside Our world crumbling from the inside Chorus Broken promises Just broken promises Some say it takes two But, I say it’s all on you Verse IV We live in our quiet thoughts Trust that these walls are secured Our hearts screaming and ready to fall Promises, you are mine for keeps Promises, you are mine for keeps Chorus Broken promises Just broken promises Some say it takes two But, I say it’s all on you

Hate will not spawn our fate

By Jessie Doyle


There was a time I think when the world ran much more peacefully and there weren't wars or violence and material things didn't matter and everything wasn't a competition to see who was better than one another, a time where people helped one another without asking for it that's just what they did because they genuinely felt love and compassion and unity amongst each other, but then something happened along the way that poisoned our hearts and our souls and what was once love, mutated into hate and angst and the urge to destroy one another just to satisfy thier own needs and somehow maybe one day through a miracle we can get back to getting along and living peacefully and happily with each other.
