A thought sets off tears A smile creates sobs An "are you okay" breaks you And nothing cures the sorrow you feel No person No object Nothing, leaving you with sadness Sadness that shrinks you into a fetal position It feeds, infinitely hungry A stomach never fully satisfied And you wallow in this pity that can't be ridden of The damage is left behind Not an angel's handyman could patch the hole left behind Guilt Anger Pain and Fear This is when everything fails This is where everything fails Falling into hell and farther down than known to man Because of a trip that could have been prevented But was provoked by someone other than you That, is where everything fails

Where everything fails
A thought sets off tears A smile creates sobs An "are you okay" breaks you And nothing cures the sorrow you feel No person No object Nothing, leaving you with sadness Sadness that shrinks you into a fetal position It feeds, infinitely hungry A stomach never fully satisfied And you wallow in this pity that can't be ridden of The damage is left behind Not an angel's handyman could patch the hole left behind Guilt Anger Pain and Fear This is when everything fails This is where everything fails Falling into hell and farther down than known to man Because of a trip that could have been prevented But was provoked by someone other than you That, is where everything fails
