Running Out

Groggy... Screaming... Sleepy... Painful... Confused about what's going on I don't care Because I'm half asleep. Waking up to screaming yells Is not a way to wake at all... Long ago there was but quite And now pain and suffering accumulates in my air? OH HELL NO! Is this how children are suppose to live? Watching their parents at each others throats? Don't you see? You're taking from your children's childhood. How can you live with yourself? Stealing from your child! You're not stealing love from them... It's just disappearing Piece by piece And eventually there are no more pieces to steal. And you say I'm the failure! You're always asking "What Happened?" You ran out of pieces!
