Colder Than Freezing
Death isn't a business
just another transaction
it's something no one can change
all of us carry different reactions
so maybe that is what gets you through
I don't understand
because it seems so cruel
but maybe I don't know anything
except my own pain.....
I just wish the fighting would stop
one day it won't even matter
one day the words “look after”
won't even be needed
cold with the tone of your voice
is how you proceeded
and I don't have to be there
to see your face
I have a brain
and a quick imagination
It's your brother
It's my grandfather
maybe the other side wants to speak
you know the side
that you hate
well it would be nice
to get a word in edge wise
I am not greedy
just some few small souveniors
doesn't anyone count?
Or is everyone just froze out?
I hate how nothing we do or say
makes any difference
through clenched teeth
I hold back this red sea
how we get no vote
yet as blood aren't we family?
It's okay, heck it will have to be
tears nor anger will bring closure
but when I think of the words you used
I lose my composure....
The end seems to be speeding ahead
while everyone else is fighting
he hangs by a thread
where is the calm voice in the chaos?
It will be too late
once he's dead.....
