words ever flowing/pieces of me
Barely Breathing
With the mothers screamin'
I could get no sleepin'
And I try to forget the pain
yet you still won't leave my brain
these thoughts
these dreams
everything that I should be
these robots
these people feining
for something real
won't you please give their fill
to them
and replenish the love I have lost
through the days and nights I sat accost
and thought you cared about me
man I should have shaken
another tree
but the words won't change things
and these humanity swings
we will all face continue on
