Cruelty
The stars look crueler
As they watch you die
Beneath their light.
There are too many of them in the sky
With too much hate filling their eyes
They've seen hundreds of you before
They will see
Hundreds more
You think you deserve to be here
You've been praying quietly
These past few years.
You think you can hear them
Whispering about you
Above you
They knew you'd never make it
You know you don't belong
You know this mountain will be
Just as cold
Just as lonely
In two hundred years
As it is tonight
Finding warmth in a broken body
Found dead
By light
There are too many stars in the sky
With too much hate filling their eyes
They've seen hundreds of you before
They will see
Hundreds more
Did your family know you went terminal
When you booked that flight?
The way they held you as you said goodbye
You think they just might
You wish you could call home
With your last dying breath
And tell them you'll be gone
Someone finally chose your death
But that call will come
From an unknown number
From a voice too rough
Calling on a night
With too many stars
Filling up your sky
And from then on
Your sister wears a smile
That says she just wants to die
