Damned
Shed a tear and close your eyes
Rest your head for as long as you can
The sick demands of the world
Continue to shred apart every true soul.
With nothing left to believe
And no one there to share your pain
That moment of restraining
Puts you to the test.
Time is running out
I see you growing thin
Not knowing what to feel anymore
As lies sink through
You're slowly dying from within.
A difference can be made
Praying for a change
Brightening up every star in the sky
Is what we all long for
But breathing in the taste of being ill
Has never helped us before.
Picturing it now
Silent laughs across the room
They know so little
Together we stand alone
Hanging on with what's left
If only it wasn't too late
But we're going to have to try
To make everything feel real again.
