When Reason Wont Work

I cant see and I cant hear Caught between the hard rock and the sea I cant run and I cant hide I feel the incoming tide Surround me on all sides I cant breath and I cant think I feel my feet begin to sink Beneath the rocks below the sand I need some help I need a hand I cant reach and I cant hold I losing my grip on it all I cant talk and I cant shout I lost my voice somewhere out .. there I feel the world begin pull at my hair, fallen to my knees somewhere out there, someone answer to my ….please When did all this noise begin to start, all these words to strike the heart All those people who take the toll The ones to please the ones who sold Kindness for a wage, the gentle word for the rage I stare in silence I look in pain What have I got to gain Let the sea carry me away let the stones begin to weigh ..and carry me away..
