Test

picture line the walls
memories line the mind
heart is failing now
the end of the line
happiness can come
but sorrow will never go
because pain is all that's felt
and it's all that's known
it's like we're all being tested
by what life can bring
every heart an ended melody
but still the past sings

wishing, wanting, waiting for that one true thing
that longing, holding, aching only could bring
her heart has had enough of this stupid game
it hurts her body, mind, soul, her life and brain
catastrophe takes her like a lost old friend
grabs her into the rabbit hole by the hand
she waits to see if she'll ever wake up
from this stupid nightmare because she's had enough
it's only a matter of time before she's on her own
waiting oh so patiently all alone
for someone to get her out of this melencholy mess
but its the end she's had enough of this test

it's like she will know
something she never knew
and here we go
it's the same story
life for her is life for you
complicated
and it all ends tonight

drip drip syringe poke lying in the street
crying for something to make him feel unweak
hand extended to God in the sky
because he feels death and doesn't want to die
now he's the afterschool special he once saw in school
thought he had control, but now knows he's the drugs tool
and he sobs in disappointment at the man he's become
this not how it's supposed to be he's not done
but he clenches his body and screams in pain
and he realizes that the end of this tale is quite plain
sees the light as he goes into shock
and its another tale of how the heart beat stops

and he will never know
what life could've been
and here we go
another story ends
life for him is life for you
complicated
and it all ends tonight

and what we don't know
is something we ignore
and here we go
stories fail to intertwine
life for them is life for you
complicated
do you want it to end tonight?
