Have You Ever Felt Their Pain

Have you ever felt their pain?
Wandering when you will ever feel at home again?
Lost inside an empty cell
Battered and bruised, left to rot in one’s personal hell
Life is a damage plan
Set up to hurt everyone, again, again, again
I know what it’s like to be left alone
For long enough of a time, to never want to go home
They’ll take your life, drain it clear
Vampires feeding constantly off of, everyone’s favorite fear
Run while we can, to our promised land,
Find the one you can love, build for two a home
So that even when the world’s torn apart, you never feel alone
Hold onto love and make sure to never let it go
Time is always on our side, this much I know
Slowly we mature, the faster we seem to grow
