When she was young,
she had it all;
now the glory fades
into a sun-soaked sky.
She’s crying out for darkness,
a darkness that covers
the pain of living.
It started out feeling right
but it slowly faded
and no one has an answer for her.
She doesn’t know why
there’s nothing that
numbs the misery
She looks to the sky,
all she sees is the rain
and everyday is the same.
Deep inside, she longs for love
but all she feels is her pain.
Her only friends are a lonely pair:
silence and solitude.
And when past strikes her mind,
there’s no escape,
she feels nothing.
There’s a grave feeling in the air;
A calmness that’s sickening.
There’s no escaping her strife:
no place to run,
no place to hide,
so she prays for death.
She looks to the sky,
all she sees is the rain
and everyday feels grey.
Because a heart can take
only so much hurt
before it plants a razor in her vein.
