I.
open your eyes and see the world
the heartlessness of life unkind
awakens you, and you arise
with what tattered dreams that are left behind
do you even know what you are doing?
you tell the sun not to shine
but it doesn’t care what you say
it simply thinks you lost your mind
and I simply have to agree
you’d do the same, if so inclined

II.
does the sun cry each morn
at the breaking of the day?
where would the river run
if it were to lose it’s way?
if the clouds would turn purple
would the sky be aquamarine?
and although life-devouring time end
would anyone know what it mean?

III.
is there a single ray of sun
hidden in the cloudy, dark grey sky
why do tears come fast
to those who must not cry
all of the evil in the world
is there a reason why
stop the endless cycle of pain
will no one ever try
when all things seem hopeless
should one just quit and die
