Who's Drying Mine

"Who's Drying Mine"
Wrestling with the thoughts of abandonment
Fighting to believe that rivers do run
Wondering why this heart still feels like a stepping stone
Don't go without me, please take my hand
When does my sunshine light my path towards tomorrow
Shall I ever find my desire in the city of loneliness
Does earthquakes that shake beds ever have my feet dangling off
Let me be the lover causing the toes to curl
With another birthday looming I'm only reminded that my future is empty
Another year where my life is filled with hollow walls of silence
No secretes to whisper to the ears beside me
No reason to smile feeling empty inside
Without friends to remind me that I breathe to dry their tears
I smile to show them why they to have a reason to grow old
So I'm living their life for them as they die inside as well
So as I'm drying their eyes from their pain, who's drying mine
