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 walked down the street 
    a block or so down

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
