Do You Care


When the shadows form in shades of gray
Lost in confusion we look away
What if what you’re going through will always keep you here?
Why face the fear of all your doubts?
Why find a way when darkness  chains you up?
There is no one to hear your cry
Who’ll break the silence just before you die?
It’s  just a slow flow fade and all you do is try
to find a reason to look up to the sky
Everywhere is a violent memory
No-one knows all the pain and agony
See it clearer.. Just know me better
Maybe I never saw...
that you had the escape all figured out
Now that I need you most your eyes are so cold and distant
Why you refuse to hold me close will always be my most dreadful secret
Do you even care?
I was so afraid to lose you
Do you see the hands that touched me and you thought you’d be the only one?
But don’t you see how black my tears have became, how it cuts me to the core?
You say that this is not a gift from God
I fight with all the voices screaming 'cause I don’t know anymore...
How do I kill this life?
How do I take this breath?
This is the bridge I built between your love and hate
Because what am I to do
If your love for me is ruined by a stranger who raped me
On a cold, dark night...

Death

There's a noise outside my window
Another life gun-shot, wounded, gone
Blood in the streets
A quick release..

Children playing
Parents waiting
There where life and death collide

In hospital beds so many recall brighter days
Some wounded by a single phrase
Others hunted down by a violent blaze

Suicide and drug abuse
What do I have left to lose
Numb, anesthetized, willfully sedated
Seduced by this addiction that won't let me go..

Death

who knows its consequence
and how it deprives a soul of significance

Where is the oxygen supplied by love alone
All that's left are a thousand graveyards with names written in stone
