Come Closer

I tried to tell you once before
but there are never enough words
and so many ways to show you the cause
but you prefer to sleep with nightmares
don’t ya

I walked with you
through freezing corridors
your feelings lurking behind
all it’s revolving doors
but you choose to see the darkness
didn’t ya

And all the sorrow you see in life
depressed for all the reasons why
thinking no one knows
the puzzle of the pain inside ya

Solitary you weep with frozen rain
icicles pities self devotion
your heart so battered
it may refuse to beat again
and the landslide calling you to the end
has you staggering in all the rubble of emotion
bruised and cut by the broken mirrors of isolation
aren’t ya

I tried to show you so many times before
the agony seeping slowly into your core
is no singular malady
the great depression inside humanity
when humanity is the enemy
suffer all in equal shades
of their spirits tyranny

But you prefer not to see
and all alone prefer to be
with your Prozac excuses of dependency
don’t ya 
and the world must live with your hammer of despair
all the demurred and neglects of all our feelings
the litany never to discover the why or where
something none of us can compare
to the broken alienation of all our meaning

And now life is something we cannot share
and life is for only those who dare
to pick the prospect of wealth
to earn themselves a living
yes forget the potential of your dreams
purchase the cure
for all our sufferings
the low pressure point is something you prefer
walking the freezing corridors
the driven disaster and all its cause
chattering teeth on your bone as it gnaws
all its way through ya

The great depression of humanity
when all of us are the enemy
still you prefer to be alone in purgatory
don’t ya.
