Because sometimes it feels like I’ve forgotten how to smile
I see the world falling all around me
Shards and pieces of glittering rubble
Forsee blood and screams and bullets
Because it’s hard not to cry
Hard not to ask why
Because it’s hard to breathe
Hard not to mourne the newborn
Be glad for the dying
And you would tell me it’s for a morbid reason
But I tell you now
You don’t understand me
Because I know something you won’t admit
And I’ve seen what happens in the blackness of The Pit
Crying inside
Even though it does no good
But you will never know
Never see what I never show
Sadness and anger
Dusty and bitter in my mouth
The words are on my tounge
But I wouldn’t even know where to begin
I don’t care enough to watch you laugh
At your own exspense
Because there is so little
I wake up for in the morning
And because there is much
I would save in the ending
But finality is exactly what it is
And I see the truth for exactly this
Because throwing pearls to swine
Is a waste of precious words
Even more precious, time
And I’m not willing to beat the truth
Into your blunt and thoughtless minds
Because I'll be sitting here still
On the day the earth stands still
And I will watch the slow kill
Racking sobs in the twilight
In the darkness, in the silence
Because I am walking right now
And I am standing up and moving slow
Toward a someone I can be proud to die as
In a world dragging itself helpless on it’s elbows
All it takes is one more blow
Bring it hard, or bring it slow
I’ll still be standing
Because I’m not afraid of the world ending
