Where peace of mind is hard to find
And you hope that the world will be kind
When care turns to fear and you quiver at the very thought of him
You look in his eyes and all you see is lies
The lies buzz like flies on a huge pile of shit
Offended by the filth!
The stench is lethal you have to flee
When your heart becomes like a tennis ball
Bouncing from racket to racket
Till its smacked down hard on the ground
The victorious cheer at your expense
When you close your eyes in sleep
Tormented thoughts
They turn into nightmares
And still you have to summon courage to face another day
Care like wear and tear
Exhausted you combust
Like a grenade about to explode
With all the load you’ve had to bear
Finally, you have to abort
Less it kills what’s left of you
Your care turns to a glare as you look back at your life
Flush strife down the toilet drain
Thrive on the gain of pain
Sowing in new soils
Praying for rain
