Song of the Dying (Original)

Tears fall 
For I cannot feel them
Upon my rough hands
My scar’d palms 
All alone 
Wondering ever which way
Where do I go
I am from?
A slight moment of puzzlement
Lightly confused 
Politely misused 
The secrets they’re telling you
Pretend it doesn’t matter 
One just knows not what to do
Given away myself in every song
Swallowed the bars last liquor
Now images only seem blurry 
In the past picture
The highway haunts you
Night fall taunts the blue 
All life wants from you
Is the Truth
