Catholic during the Great Apostasy

What’s your world like?
What’s your life about?
Is there any love, or just the taste of doubt?

Look at yourself,
look at the ones around.
Where are your friends
when the troubles come down?

What kind of world is this?
What kind of life?
Love’s been replaced by envy — maybe by spite.

Look at yourself,
look at the things you see.

Everyone talks about love,
but they only think of themselves.
Everyone tells you what to do,
but no one asks what you feel.

A broken soul don’t mean love —
a broken soul means hate.

Why are you running from the real world?
You live inside the screens,
in the media lies —
but you aren’t really there.

So many faces smiling nice,
but they’ll stab you in the back, twice.

Ain’t that the truth?
Come on, you know it’s true.

If you feel good — you’re still alone.
If you feel bad — you’re still alone.
So what’s it all for?

People don’t love themselves —
so how could they love you?
Yeah, it’s sad,
but it’s true.

Love yourself,
walk straight again,
and your world will find its way.
You’ll find someone who loves your mind,
not just your face or skin,
someone who sees you —
not what they can win.

To know yourself — it takes time,
but the moments that matter
don’t last long.
