What Happens?

What happens when we all lose hope?  
When we stop believing that it'll all work out? 
What happens then? 

What happened to the boy who believed in you? 
But you let him down 
Again 
And
Again
Who is he now? 

What happened to everything you said you stood for? 
But when asked by someone besides me 
You let those pillars fall, 
Taking with them my respect for you.  

What happens in the end? 
When we all stop believing 
That something will happen, then 
What happens?

    I could hear the high pitched ringing 
    A reminder of a past days sacrifice
