Always Tortured

barrier that separates us
melt away, let us be
i'm always standing in the shadows
he never seems to see me
his gray-green eyes always searching
never seeming to find
what he wants in this dark cruel world
someone with whom he can confide

always searching, never finding
the point to his life
i watch him become more and more depressed
with his failed attempts to fly
away from everthing he's lost
in his life

he sits all alone in the dark
waiting for reason to arrive
hoping he'll live happily somehow
although he's dead inside
the memories come to his mind
torturing him, making things worse
the tears fall from his eyes
he wants to be lifted from this curse

always tortured, never finding
the point of his life
i watch him become more and more depressed
with his failed attempts to fly
away from everything he's lost
in his life
