Dry Lonely Tears

The lights circle the room
  Shining on all those plastic faces
    Traces of a life that once was held
      So deep inside of their marble eyes
        Call for help through dry lonely tears
BLACKNESS
  Deep, down inside their rotting hearts
    The bleeding seems to never stop flowing
      Growing, Multiplying, Dying, Never Trying
        It's only a listless freedom of crying heroes
SILENCE
  The music stops, Hearts stops beating
    No more banging in your ears as you sleep
      Drifting off to that place where tomorrow is
        And today never comes to those who believe
          Relieving bones of their muscles weight
The freight circles the room
  Plastic faces look as you pass by
    Places of your life lived fade away
      To the areas of the mind forgot by man
And now it's too late to call for help through dry lonely tears
