let those so sad
drown themselves in tears dark blue
and let those so blind
be wrapped up by a light that's black.

let the tired doze in coma's
and the wired run their marathons.

the girls are gonna grab their hair
and scream their throats into their knees
while their boys stare into corners
and think themselves in spirals.

those that are weak
might fall and crack their heads
but some will regain strength
and stagger to the hall.

some may need protection
in the form of small stuffed bears
while other's need strong arms
to lock them into peace.

why do those that feel helpless
listen to songs filled with helpless words?
why must we make
our nights so much darker?
