I only cry when I'm alone
and I am alone a lot
I don't cry because I'm lonely
I'm usually only lonely when in a crowd
I cry because the world
seems to be falling apart
instead of coming together
and everyday that passes
brings us closer to a day too late
a day when the warning is a reality
and the reality is worse than predicted
and hope and *****
have long left us to drown
in our own misery and ignorance
and if god was ever there
he realizes what a mistake
it was to make us in the first place
and just quietly walks away
because it was as simple
as love and be loved
but we ****** that up so bad
that love became nothing more
than a ****** brand
of gift and sympathy cards
and life became nothing more
than fuel for war and hatred and profit
for those that have too much
but have nothing to give
other than grief and manipulation
with hands that twisted
our minds and hearts into believing
evil was the mischief of the devil
to distract us from the fact
that the only place real evil was breed
was inside their ugly hearts
and I can hear it beat loudest
when I find myself alone
and no matter how long
or hard I cry
I just can't drown it out
