Looking out the window
watching life pass by...
When we're born it's not our choice,
so at first it cannot be our fault...
We signed a treaty on our tainted willowed hearts
marking the beginning of an eternal allegiance...
If a stranger was in pain
Is there anything you would do...
The absinthe greens and brilliant whites
Fight bitterly day by day...
Rescue us from the down pour
and the ice within our veins...
Growing up in a small town
you get used to seeing others...
But a stone's throw from home
Withers the shell of an elderly man...
You demand to bolt my mouth shut
You try to keep my voice inside...
I look at my present condition and
I let out a few tears...
Open your eyes
see through the lies...
{Hidden pain seeping through cracks
Misery clutching at so many souls...
