A Thousand Cries

You’ve said it’s done,

The words exhale as smoke

You’re drowning the details

Your inhale has hope

The scent it lingers in

And around a battle within

You’ve left the door ajar

Now deceit is spilling in

Just an ordinary day

Only words we’ve left to say

Before it opened up

And swallowed us whole

Now the ground begins to shake

The ordinary fades

As the panic sets in

As the panic sets in

This minds left to sleep

Tuned out to all the deceit

We rest now to calm the storm

To recover from it all

And after we’ve consumed

All the doom and gloom

A life we never knew

Will you ever make it through?

Just an ordinary day

The words rot and fall away

Leaving us to embrace

This life of silence

Aren’t you tired of saving face?

Just another fall from grace

And as we turn to escape

All I’m faced with is the dark

What’s said is done

What’s said is done

What’s said is done

What’s said is

What are these creatures?

The voices raged

Sirens sound yet separate

The world I knew and the truth I’d known

Leaving only void in this place we’d grown

In the darkness the lies are truth

A thousand cries are all we knew

As the bones they bend and break

The life we knew is stripped away without a trace
