A Lesson Learned

A LESSON LEARNED

BITS OF GLASS
AND BROKEN BONE
BEEN TORN INSIDE OUT
BLOOD’S BEEN SPILLED
UPON THE SANDS
TO GROW THE EVIL DOUBT

BLIND TO BLACK
AND BLIND TO WHITE
WE LIVE THE GRAY BETWEEN
LIGHT A MATCH
TO TOSS ON ME
AND POUR THE GASOLINE

OUTSIDE THE RAIN FALLS
WATER ON THE GLASS
CAN’T SEE THE THINGS WE SHOULD
SO MUCH JUST GOES PAST

HOLD ME UP
AND NAIL ME OUT
AND WATCH ME SCREAM ALOUD
STRIP MY SKIN
AND BARE MY SOUL
WRAP ME IN A SHROUD

PUT A ROSE
UPON MY GRAVE
AND SAY A PRAYER FOR ME
LIVE AND LEARN
AND TEACH THE NEXT
AND PRAY THAT THEY CAN SEE

OUTSIDE THE RAIN FALLS
WATER ON THE GLASS
CAN’T SEE THE THINGS WE SHOULD
SO MUCH JUST GOES PAST

CAN’T RUN AND HIDE
FROM THE PAIN INSIDE
IT’S SO INSANE
THE BURNING RAIN……….

OF TEARS I CRY
