No Change

poetry/lyrics

A man sits down with a half empty glass,

Melodies playing that take him back to those long forgotten days.

He saw what most never could see,

Felt the pain of a thousand dying children

And deep inside his heart's screaming

Why oh why can't the world change?

Now you see why he drinks,

He pours himself another glass

And tips the cold liquid back against his lips

His heart sinks and he finds himself inside of a world

So dark and gray, the rain will never end

And these kids will never know what its like to not know pain

If you could only see the pain painted with lines on his face

He's just seeking harmony to this heart's melody of sorrow. 

Who else is there to blame? Things will never be the same.

With another drink from his glass,

He smoke's a cigarette, a pack gone in a day

The sun slowing goes down and he feels the alcohol wash over

Finding himself in a world with no change.

No matter what they say, you can't drink away the pain.

He's just seeking harmony to this heart's melody of sorrow. 

Who else is there to blame? Things will never be the same.
