Sun Beams

 

Look at us, it's just too late

Armies invading, filling the world with hate

 

Racism still rules the streets

Religion still does nothing but preach

 

Families are always torn apart

Children learn to cover up their scars

 

There won't be a future for us today

And it's sad it has turned out this way

 

And I realize there's not much more to do

I've let everything I know fall through

 

Made you go away

Wished for every memory to be erased

 

But still, here I am again

Thinking about why everything has to come to an end

 

Picking apart these wounds again

Patching up holes, to only fill them in with pretend

 

And where have you gone on this beautiful day

I bet somewhere far away

 

With the sun beams dancing upon your skin

Forgetting everything you once held within

 

Your scars, they will heal

The numbness will fade and once again you will feel

 

But for me it's not the same

I'm crippled and dying from all of this pain

 

The sun can never find its way into me

I close the curtains instantly

I liked the line "Picking apart these wounds again patching up holes, to only fill them in with pretend" kind of reminds me of when we try to rationalize the things that happen to us or make them seem like they werent really as bad as we thought.. pretend. nice job :)
