A Day In Verse

i  walk  alone,  endless  seas  of  souls  around  me

his  face  it  told  of  the  mad  existence,  a  silent  story

and  just  how  they  took  him,  they  tore  a  free  soul  down

didn't  leave  a  trace

and  how  he  sat  and  faced  it,  he  didn't  make  a  sound

and  i  watched  in  silence  as...

tears  fell  like  rain,  the  world  went  insane  around  him

all  those  times  i  wondered  where  we  were  going  then

out  here  it  never  changed,  unlock  these  chains  that  bind  me

oh  the  world,  why  is  it  so  hard  to  understand?

she  looks  out  from  high  above  the  dark  and  cold  streets

there  in  her  room  she  waits  in  riches  for  something  to  happen

money  can't  heal  her,  the  hole  she  feels  inside

(one  step  closer)

staring  into  god's  eyes,  she  says  her  last  goodbye,  then  jumps  to  the  cure

as...

tears  fall  like  rain,  eyes  filled  with  sadness,  i  see

a  world  in  struggle  for  it's  very  soul

and  the  preachers  they  all  pray,  looking  for  some  salvation

i  can't  see  how  we  made  it  through  yesterday

and  tears  fall  like  rain,  those  child like -hopes  of  being  happy

seem  overshadowed  by  a  distant  cry

salvation  never  came,  to  those  of  us  who  saw  the  story

we  must  always  close  our  eyes  and  look  the  other  way...

passive  pretense,  killing  license,  witnesses  sworn  to  silence

was  it  meant  to  be  this  way?

losing,  falling,  satan  calling,  threatening  your  one  and  only

drowning  in  your  own  sorrow,  wasting  away

all  my  fears,  they  are  coming

and  this  lonely  life  i'm  condemned  to  live

it  can  be  your  home  forever....

losing  patience,  warring  nations,  drug  infested  correlation

is  it  the  life  you  feel?

victim's  silence,  caring  violence,  doctor  assisted  suicide

and  here  you  are  sitting,  you're  wasting  away

all  my  fears  they  are  calling

and  this  world  upon  my  screen,  it  will  be  my  home  forever....

they  speak  again,  one  last  time  he  spoke  the  words

he  said,  "i'll  be  there,  just  close  your  eyes,  remember  always"

then  there  was  a  silence  where  the  dream  went  here,  it  was  over  then

another  love  gone,  another  heart  to  heal

hold  yours  forever!

and  tears  fall  like  rain,  worlds  apart  they  sit  and  wonder

how  things  could  get  so  wrong  when  they  were  fine

this  world  it  seems  insane,  all  these  dreams  are  left  behind  them

does  it  matter  where  or  why,  anyway?

and  it  will  be  okay,  things  will  be  all  right  tomorrow

afterall,  we  made  it  through  yesterday....
