Tortured

Have you ever heard your soul scream
Scream a sound that could shatter glass
Felt it being torn apart,
By icy hooks embedded into its very fabric

Have you ever seen it bleed
Bleed blood as red as freshly sprung roses
Have you ever tasted its agony
Like soured grapes that’s been left to long

My soul cries, cries enough to fill rivers
It’s been broken and beaten,
Stabbed and wrenched, left for dead time and time again
But we’re still here

We go through life day by day
With more and more pain
Pain enough to make angels weep
And to make life long for death

I long for death sometimes
To leave this world,
And touch the face of god once more
Never to return to heaven and hell,
Made reality on this earth
