Awkward silences filled with hollow answers
Tears streaming down faces
Souls crying for unanswered statements
Eyes searching for familiar traces
Lives changed in a matter of moments
The hardness of one bears volume on others
Weighing heavy against our minds
And bringing shame against our mothers
We can’t talk about our problems
Because we’re afraid to be insane
And lonely and blinded by a game
We fall for all the wrong people
Which is why we have to change
We are broken and battered like old ships
Our pain haunts us like ghosts rising from the dead
We are zombies to others
Numb to love
So we don’t have new lovers
And we will never know why we stick around for the rocky seas
When we have yet to find land and still have yet to see
Sadness wavers around us like dark clouds and overgrown trees
Creating a self-imposed jail that has no key
When we have given up on ourselves
And can’t find the strength to fight
And when we are free-falling into darkness
It is the love of those that matter that give us light
