You have broken my body under the weight of the world
My light is like a flickering candle in the wind, barely staying lit
My heart is shattered and my eyes burn from the tears
I've barried my hopes and dreams

Why do you torment me and make me live?
Why won't you ***** me out like a cigarette being rubbed against the concrete?
Does my suffering make you laugh
Does my sorrow bring joy to your heart?

Again I say why won't you take my life?
Take back your promises and leave me in the grave so that I can finally be at peace
Let my body wither away like my hopes and dreams.

From rags to riches is how Jesus says we should be
Climb the corporate ladder even if it cost your dignity.
Sorry Jesus but there's a no vacancy sign on my heart
I got George, Abe and Benjamin staying and they ain't leaving soon so you'll have to wait.

I keep digging but fail to realize
I'm the one hitting the nails in the coffin and I'm being barried alive.

We built our love on promises and rings
I pledged my vows in front of our friends and family
It's been so long since that day, can't believe how easy it is for hearts to go astray.

Fear comes in the dead of night
When I look in your eyes
And wonder if you shared your smile
With someone else

But love grows in the barren wasteland
When the rains beat down on the tin roof
We'll dance to the music of the storm
And pledge this love forever more

Flowers blossom and wither
Depending on if I'm happy or bitter

A place that is forbidden
Where secrets are hidden
A place I go to be alone
A place no one knows.

Two strangers meet
Two secrets they keep
To a place I look for you
To a place I call... dark side of the moon.

From the day of my birth
I've been blessed with the gift words
Never knew how to express the inside
Until I put the pen in my in hand.

I've tried the sword a couple times because it's what they say makes masculinity but for me it's toxicity so i put down the sword and write.
