Blank stare,
Poker face
The deadly silence in the air
Drives them out of place

Smiles slip
Like rain, like tears
They are in my grip
I know their sorrow, I know their fears
And I am helpless to watch their sanity rip

They pound me, they want to break me
Moaning about
The sunlight they want to see
But I cannot let them out

Let the pain turn
In for the night
Let it burn
Brilliant light is their last sight
