Alone
—/—/—/—/—/—/—/—
Stop those tears,
I hate it when you cry;
You're stronger than this,
When did you lose your fight?
Behind these bars, I cry out,
To the monster you've become;
But in the rage, I'm just silence,
Forgot and fading to gone.
Suddenly I can't understand,
The thoughts in my stolen mind;
You've lit a fire so wild,
That there's no truth to find.
It's your mind now, control it!
Should it be so hard?
Without a method, there's madness,
That's why I've drifted so far.
Let go of your pride,
You can't go this alone;
You're a force without power,
Without true strength, without soul.
You're killing me slow,
I'm too weak to fight;
I can't stop your storm,
The one making days nights.
Quit wasting my life,
I've just got one to use;
You're burning up time,
Guess what? It won't stop for you.
You've chained up my dreams,
What you're too scared to address;
Cause you can't come to terms,
With what your destiny lacks.
Still, at dark, I hear you cry,
I know I'm the shadow;
All your pain, I too suffer,
But yet it's you that I battle.
Each day is a loss,
My memory's in the dirt;
Pushed away by the waves,
Soon you'll forget who you were.
Where do you run to?
I have nowhere;
How I wish to just scream,
But I would never dare.
My pleas to heaven,
Calling, "God, don't you see?"
But if he hears, if he knows,
He doesn't care enough about me.
Tide change, questions rise,
How I doubt you, I do;
It's so hard to believe,
What was once clearly true.
But I can't give up hope,
Not on what I'm waiting for;
That day, rescue day,
When you will be no more.
If I'm still here behind this locked door.
