The energy of the lifeless

From place to place the faces all show a familiar stain
From the things they've overcome in this scab on the world
Though they've found so many outlets for all their woes
The depths of their eyes tell the truths they leave untold
With a burning pain in their hearts and a smile painted on their faces
Some march toward their medicine cabinets and some crawl away to die
Will their ever be a way to truly numb our pain?
And will their ever be a remedy for our sickness?
We nervously scrape our counter-tops for the truth
We stumble as we search for the answer in our bottles
As our dreams slowly wither away

There is intense searching here...all is blotted out through lifes travels and do we ever seek real truth? Interesting and made me think! Great piece love xx
