I burn for her.
Perched in soft, diamond sky.
Millions of miles away
She glimmers
And quickly turns blind eye.

I cry for her
And slowly drown in no worth.
I call out to her
And begin to shake the earth.

I point in her direction
Streaming light across night sky.
I call out searching, tirelessly.
I wish my need for her would die.

I catch her stealing a glance
And warm the ground beneath
With love.
I see her running back to me
And earth floats calmly,
Tender sky
Above.

The days are bright
And filled with pain
The nights grow dark
But feel the same

I must escape
This unavoidable fate
I must release myself
From this catatonic state

I always knew
Must be too good to be true
Here I stand alone watching
Him walk away with you

Pain is based on pleasure
And pleasure, then on pain
Full circle is the cycle
The refuses to be slain

The crippling pain of heartache
Unparalleled highs of love
Full circle is the cycle
The pain and joy of love

If these streets could speak
Fantastic stories they would tell
From drunken nights, forgotten
And childhood heroes that fell

If the moon up high could write
A novelist he'd be
Of lover's lane and voices, insane
And pure adultery

If the trees outside could listen
Brokenhearted, they would dwell
This world once pure, this paradise
And how it has been transformed into hell

You single out an innocent child
Claiming he's a bad seed
Never given a chance to prove himself
Guidance and support is all he needs

Drugs have become the common answer
A classroom full of doped up kids
No uniqueness or originality can surmount
Shielding parents with their own eyelids

Flushing out the child's deemed impurities
Punished for something he hasn't done
Portrayed him as a problem child
Labeled him as the one

You're supposed to be supportive
Giving children hope to succeed
Instead, you ruined him at a young, tender age
Smashing his aspirations and dreams

Turning children into robots
Addicted to medication, fiends
No unique thoughts or beautiful  minds
You rob children of their being

Their innocence stolen
True thoughts hidden and unseen
Convincing them that free will is evil
With consequences obscene
