Faded Colors
I wrote this back in 2005.
Look at us now,
In the world that we live,
Full of such hate,
Not willing to give,
One second of our time,
To save that one soul,
The lights fading out,
It's unbearably cold...
All the pretty colors,
Are faded and bleak,
Screaming for help,
Unable to speak,
Hungering for feeling,
Yet cold to the touch,
We'll go on with the killing,
Will it ever be enough?
Stomachs so empty,
Mouths are so dry,
Guns and knives,
Take all the innocent lives,
Retched minds,
Devise schemes to break the heart,
How did this happen,
We're falling apart.
Light the candles,
Turn out the lights,
We've got to save us,
This cold, dark night,
Forget what might happen,
Consequence be damned,
Light your candle,
Hold out a helping hand.
