beginning in sorrow
a mem'ry of tears
shining in sunlight
the tarnish of years
so rusty with silence
the words of a heart
never yet spoken
but tearing apart
the lives of a child
caught within time
cascading the violence
corruption defined
the greenness of envy
destroying our will
eyeing the moments
emptiness fills
so broken and silent
the solace of pain
slipping in oceans
as tears fall like rain
cov'ring the battles
washing our scars
feeding the frenzy
concealing the stars
a blanket of bleakness
warming our sins
protecting the weakness
that we hold within
the wounds of a child
built upons tears
rusting the hopeful
as life disappears

the blues of our midnight
singing to heavens
soon to betray us
to the blacks of the day
and despair of tomorrow
but for now we lay
in endless triumph
over the hopelessness
that grows within
the womb of our love
feeding the infant battles
of jealously and greed
as they grow to monsters
that tear at our souls
as we slumber obviously
held in the arms of a hope
that cannot be conquered

the purple of our memories
warming lonely hearts
erasing all devotions
which tore the world apart
the silence of our making
builds this quiet feel
spreading the creation
of love become surreal
the music of emotion
flowing not with pain
only since we're lonely
life won't seem the same
