Our curt words cut shreds on those around you
Protected you from the pain of the world around us
Your body eclipsed by dark tattoos
Your eyes masked the pain you held down
I tried to show you love
But I was turned down
Until I gave up.

Our interactions were filled by you making fun of me
I tried to get closer to you but you pushed me away
Callous words and actions
Held me at bay.

But I didn’t know the past you held deep inside you
A prison of pain and hellish nightmares
I can now understand your reticence
Your mistrust
Your anger
You’re spurning away of positiveness.

I understand now
Here’s my words to you.

A silent faulty feeling
A silent fault
A silent faulty feeling
A silent fault.

I sigh and fall to the ceiling
I sigh and run to the kneeling
Asylums for the feeling.

Ran out of all the meaning
I ran out of
It’s hard to fall believing
It’s hard to fall.

So many men are losing
While out there doing the proving
It’s no surprise, he’s dooming.

Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don’t suck it up, no.

We seem to need another
We need you all
While finding our own cover
We cover it all.

I find my own completeness
The darkness and the weakness
The light, the fight, the quietness.

We are here for you
We are here for you
Don’t suffer alone
Tell us.

We are here for you
We are here for you
Don’t suffer alone
Tell us.

To you, Ashley
For you….
