Tell Me To Stay
still dark, for as far as I see
shine a light, but it don't do a thing
they say that I have a problem
but that's not my perspective
close my eyes, for a change of scenery
but I still see the same silly things
you say you are my friend but
I see the lie
hid in your eyes
you must think I'm blind
if you'd cast out that spell
constant change, has escaped from my view
in it's place, lonely criminal eyes
bow down and show my self out
far through the trees
with echoing leaves
bereft of a bond that might help me to see
far from home,
only loneliness left to hold
should've known
nothing left but to let go
if all the world were to simply vanish
not a tear would remain to be shed
if hollow heads have no sense of anguish
then what does that make me?
though still I fret from the lies they feed me
and the truth stings nearly as bad
does cruel life just expect to make me
fight through the pain
nothing to gain
trapped on a train
with my share of the blame
far from home,
only loneliness left to hold
should've known
nothing left but to let go
