When root of pain is just too deep
Down too far to unearth
No shovel is large enough
To remove that much aching earth

Reason fears suffocation
Tendrils choking tight
Wind knocked out my lungs
With vacuums bite

Of the misery I've experienced
Significant misfortunes had
In cruel replaced existence
None too severe to keep me mad

As fragile greatness shatters
Years wanting happiness
Inconsistent searching yields
Whispers and injustice

Fingertips touching occassionally
Silhouette and gossamer answers
None shedding light on solutions
Just methods behind cancers

There is nowhere to hide the sorrow
Nowhere to run from the tears
Do you get what I'm expressing now?
Embrace heartache
Love your fears
There is no cure to the suffering
