"The Unraveling"



and all these things that we tie together

keep unraveling apart

and the light that used to burn so bright

now is dark

with anger-laced intent we set fire

to the bridges that remain

and they're wading thru the current now.





and they drown in the flood of the tears

that have been wept

and i scream to the sky

"no, you are not alone...)





if you think that you're words will ever make a difference

think again and carry on

because the weight behind the hand that holds us is strong

but there is hope in the roar of a thousand pleading cries

and all these things that we tie together





the sound of their tongues being bitten

is all I hear

as we fire at the whites of theirs eyes then

dance on ashes of the world





as they drown in the flood of the tears

that have been wept

and their tongues being bitten

is all that I can hear

as I scream to the sky,

"I need you now..."



can you feel this truth now unraveling?

or will you chase the burning sun

into the sea.
