FOh no ohC  
Oh Gno oh
I look for some hope in every face there's a vacant stare
The shadows come but no one seems to care
The darkness floods every light that could promise change
She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain
But blood is pain
Somewhere I know, that I'm not all alone
With this bated breath I hold
My lungs want to explode
This can't be the Dmreal world now
FI don't believe it, Cwhen I can't see the truGth
Welcome to the rDmeal world now
