A Song
as i sing a song of sadness
see the notes drop down like rain
such an overwhelming melody
that haunts me now and then
and i’ll never stop the music
that is running through my brain
keeping time with every heartbeat
living off eternal pain
when i’m crying out the lyrics
and the lyrics never change
see i’ve got it memorized because
i’m screaming out your name
when this requiem is over
emptiness is all that’s left
always knowing it will start again
until it stops with death
