Here Without You

Here without you  Paints me a realization that life isn't easy It displaces the settling railroad Taken away by the midnight train's calamity  Waiting impatiently  to face some inspiration given by God Over the driver and I  By the way you shrivel up in anger,  I'm not ready to cross through the trampled street Trampling over the infected cycle...unprepared to face reality's misfortune  Swimming in its ungrateful punishment Settling in my sorrow state...shaping my way away from ignorant fate You lie in scrumptious desires, supposedly independent in your heart-seeking choices To burn the aches and rashes for all the times you fooled us...took us for granite  What do you have left to diminish? To accomplish? Here without you is like refusing an outspoken crowd, applauding in satisfaction Ruining the family's reputation...flustering the gas station  Jaded by your defiant outbursts Holding up my clutched fists in shame Holding back tears that reck a moment's peace This betrayal...not deserving a name You were passing near us, snickering and cursing our form...our completive family You wish for scrumptious desires...shaping your heart in frightening lies that strike the innocence of your presence All the years seem to leave us behind Settling in the resistible past  Passing our unachieved, future goals Poverty splattering us in shapeless love  Rummaging mad as a furious bear in danger of unyielding snares  Are we on time to reach the morning train? And start our life in a new cycle  This family barely has anything to gain  You aren't even offering us any advice...same be for you, Pleasure-seeking mother Here without you is competitive, but affordable and fair We aren't crushed against your passionate glares Here without you is an unhappy environment  Too caught up in unbearable suffocation and useless bafflement  Here without you  Paints me a realization that life isn't easy It displaces the settling railroad Taken away by the midnight train's calamity  Come home... face your fears and embarrassment  Get away from the monstrous zoo, snatching away impressing love  Help repair this tear between the whole family with our handyman Giving it time to grow stable and secure This family barely has anything to gain  You aren't even offering us any advice...same be for you, Pleasure-seeking mother Good riddance
