A Day In Verse

I walk alone, endless seas of souls around me

His face it told of the mad existence, a silent story

And just how they took him, they tore a free soul down

Didn't leave a trace

And how he sat and faced it, he didn't make a sound

And I watched in silence as...

Tears fell like rain, the world went insane around him

All those times I wondered where we were going then

Out here it never changed, unlock these chains that bind me

Oh the world, why is it so hard to understand?

She looks out from high above the dark and cold streets

There in her room she waits in riches for something to happen

Money can't heal her, the hole she feels inside

(One step closer)

Staring into God's eyes, she says her last goodbye, then jumps to the cure

as...

Tears fall like rain, eyes filled with sadness, I see

A world in struggle for its very soul

And the preachers they all pray, looking for some salvation

I can't see how we made it through yesterday

And tears fall like rain, those child-like hopes of being happy

Seem overshadowed by a distant cry

Salvation never came, to those of us who saw the story

We must always close our eyes and look the other way...

Passive pretense, killing license, witnesses sworn to silence

Was it meant to be this way?

Losing, falling, satan calling, threatening your one and only

Drowning in your own sorrow, wasting away

All my fears, they are coming

And this lonely life I'm condemned to live

It can be your home forever....

Losing patience, warring nations, drug infested correlation

Is it the life you feel?

Victim's silence, caring violence, doctor assisted suicide

And here you are sitting, you're wasting away

All my fears they are calling

And this world upon my screen, it will be my home forever....

They speak again, one last time he spoke the words

He said, "I'll be there, just close your eyes, remember always"

Then there was a silence where the dream went here, it was over then

Another love gone, another heart to heal

Hold yours forever!

And tears fall like rain, worlds apart they sit and wonder

How things could get so wrong when they were fine

This world it seems insane, all these dreams are left behind them

Does it matter where or why, anyway?

And it will be okay, things will be all right tomorrow

Afterall, we made it through yesterday....
