Somewhere in noiseless lanes
young wandering couples still embrace
to feel whole again
one sick, the other shivers
seeking out an end before the world
depletes itself
Have you ever seen the wasted lives?
still screaming out
their chorus brings such unbearable comfort
when the sounds make it under your skin
have you ever felt the dimming lights?
still beaming out
condemning us to ever darker shadows
and it never ends
Lives meant to fall apart
are held together by their hope
corrupts the heart
dark smoke will always rise
a listless joining with good works
left undone
