You'd Die Too

...Simply hastily pieced together words in the hands of one nonbeliever...

My eyes cry
And my soul dies
Whenever I near the light of life
I choose to lie
No time to waste or try
Whenever I sear away this rage of mine.

'Cause my hearts a candle
But I can't see through the flame.
And 'Cause my hearts a beacon
But the fire has been overwhelmed by pain.

And I'm waiting for something to
Wake me from this dream,
From this nightmare,
From this bleak reality.
So I'm searching for nothing
I've ever seen,
Never touched
Nor ever screened.
And I lost myself somewhere on this long road
To destiny
And I know, my mind will just get me into trouble,
Since I won't be free.

So my eyes cry
And my soul dies
Whenever I near the light of life
I choose to lie
No time to waste or try
Whenever I sear away this rage of mine.

'Cause my hearts a candle
But I can't see through the flame.
'Cause my hearts a beacon
But the fire has been overwhelmed by pain.

And I must say that dying is the last thing on my mind,
I'm my blood,
Or near the tears I dry.
But I'm reaching for people who are as oblivious as once I,
But I know now,
And they don't understand my life.
So I'm barely surviving my steep uphill battle
Under the bloody sky above me
That rains down while thunder is screaming.

So my eyes cry
And my soul dies
Whenever I near the light of life
I choose to lie
No time to waste or try
Whenever I sear away this rage of mine.

'Cause my hearts a candle
But I can't see through the flame.
'Cause my hearts a beacon
But the fire has been overwhelmed by pain.

I can't afford to be naive
When hell comes knocking.
So I'm standing in the deep
While demons rock me.
I see no moon or endless starry sky
At night
With my eyes blinded
My heart broken
And my mind "free."

So my eyes cry
And my soul dies
Whenever I near the light of life
I choose to lie
No time to waste or try
Whenever I sear away this rage of mine.

'Cause my hearts a candle
But I can't see through the flame.
'Cause my hearts a beacon
But the fire has been overwhelmed by pain.

So sing me a lullaby,
Hold me while I wish to cry.
But don't deny
My pain.
To me it's clear as day...
Through clouded water...
Whisk me away
To a time when things were better made
But don't cry for me
When you see the truth
In my pitiful existence.
Don't break your heart
When you see the shattered pieces of the life I've lead
In this ongoing war resistance.

'Cause I think, if you did,
You'd die too.

ladies and gentlemen, poets and poetesses, i present to you the modern Edgar Allan Poe

"I'm my blood,
Or near the tears I dry.
But I'm reaching for people who are as oblivious as once I,
But I know now,
And they don't understand my life.
So I'm barely surviving my steep uphill battle
Under the bloody sky above me
That rains down while thunder is screaming. ''

An ongoing relationship with pain as collateral, a topic I'm too familiar with. Hence why I can relate to this so very much. Well done.

[Horizon K.]

Wow, this is incredible Riley! A song, I'm guessing, but brimming over with despair and pain. I love that repeating stanza... Cause my hearts a candle.... I think this is something anyone can relate to... Having been to this dark place... Why does it feel so strange though to say this painful piece is so lovely....

[Riley Bray]

Thanks! Yeah, it's a song. I'm glad you liked it!
