~Alive As Ever~
A sullen rain on open trees
I reach my arms our, tears falling like the rain
Pooling beneath my knees
Hiding within the depths of my shadow
And my tears hiding as well
Behind the darkness of my soul
You�ll never know
And you�ll never understand
Every creeping vine
Into every creeping corner
Dust billowing up, washed away
Stardust washed away
Washing into an invisible oblivion
The ease isn�t all it seems
The cause not so blatant as the effect
You thought I was sleeping
But I was alive as ever
You never took the time
To check my pulse
You never waved your hand above my lips
You couldn�t love me
You were too busy loving yourself
Shoot them all down the line
A noble cause indeed
To the wayside with remote changes
Gentle hand on your cheek
Burnt and reddened underneath
I am so tired of this futile plea
Give it substance so I can listen
But substance confuses your simple mind
I�ll stay asleep if you want me to
Because your mind will make me sleep anyway
Telepathic and psychopathic all the same
You are no one
No one to tell me when I go to sleep
Because I am alive as ever
