One Simple Word

by Cantchangeme   Nov 3, 2004



The animals they weep
My insecurities build
Paranoia takes a leap
My confidence killed

Will my life be thrown away
Spat on and rejected
I put my fingers on my wrist
No pulse is detected

My feet shakily move forward
But want to stop again
Can i truly pass this test
Maybe i should refrain

Eternity is a second
All their eyes on me
Gun against my head
Just let me be free

My resting place is marked
Silence will rain forever
The unlikeliness of kindness
Cant put this back together

But the eyes they bore into me
Burning away at my very being
Confidence has his eyes open
But he just isn't seeing

Your reply will take this down
Take it down burning below
Took you nothing to say nothing
Took me everything to say hello
