What Good Is

What good is a flower with petals that shine so bright that lives in the shadows of a deep and endless night What good is a dove who has lost it's mate that wanders the world alone the remains of his life colored slate What good is a life where nothing is right where rain smothers everything extinguishing every light Slipping fast I'm calling out I'm barely hanging on Don't look back No can't go back The life I once knew is gone What good is a mind that's bend is broken laying frozen in time a secret song unspoken What good is a heart that can't see love that's shattered so with no hope from above What good is a life where there's nothing left the corners are empty marks of an unknown theft Falling fast I'm calling out I could no longer hang on Don't look down Can't ever go back The life I have will soon be gone What good is a body once beautiful and pure that lays on the ground broken and insecure What good is a soul that was once so light not a moment of anger to stain the perfect white What good is a life when no one cares just to see how close you are to wonder if you'll take the dare Slipping fast I'm silent now There's no use in hanging on No looking back No going back The life I lived is long gone
