"I Would Like to Write of Something Hopeful, But This Is All I See"
In the kitchen of a home
A man who works from 6 'til 10
Begs his wife to stay together
She offers up obsurd remarks
Then leaves her home and her three kids
And upstairs in a lonely chamber
One teenager wages war
She looks into the mirror
And sees a beast from ancient lore
We live in such a beautiful world, we do
With painted on faces in all of the places
We live in such a beautiful world, it's true
Now, in the belfry of the church
One priest kills a man
He throws the corpse into the well
So no one will ever know
On Sunday morning he'll ring the bell
And then produce his sermon to the crowd
He will tell them of their sins, then damn them all to hell
And they will say "God bless you sir, salvation has been found!"
We live in such a beautiful world, we do
With painted on faces in all of the places
We live in such a beautiful world, it's true
And it's sad, it's so sad
All the beauty breaks my heart
And it's sad, it's so sad
All the beauty is breaking me apart

This is really a sad write, I liked the images of sadness within the lines.
I often find myself seeing the same sort of thing but then once again realised that there is alot of true beauty in the world and we can cover our eyes to some of the sadness and make our own thoughts and corner of this vast place beautiful and true to us.
