There is Meaning in Tragedy
My soluble thoughts will soon be gone
The music so pure, the young ones fall to their knees
Barely able to hold balance here
The angry ones cry out in angst
Moving with no emotion now
Emotion is hidden beneath the grime
Standing up with a nail in their backs,
The people cry
The volume hits zero
And their luck has run out
The stone-hearted ones stand high and mighty
And the ones who love the sound that is within, they no longer drown in the thoughts of the past
Stiff and straight, not one dares
Look in the eye that sees all, the one thats not really there
Finally the demon within is in a liquid state
