A boy
once stood proud and tall
Disgraced
lost beyond the fall
Broken
Shattered upon the ground
Torn
ripped without a sound

It could have been different
A path not taken
A road now closed
Love and respect forsaken

No turning back now
the die is cast
molded into nothing
dwelling in the past

Blinded by memories
of love not received
Demons of yesterday
twisted what was believed

Sincere regret
will capture the heart
Look around
see what is torn apart

Drown in sorrow
from rivers of tears
Masks of pain
bring out the fears

Ruined
the future slips away

Loneliness has settled in
I cannot cope with this endless feeling
It rips at my soul
It tears my heart to shreds
I feel so alone
even in a crowded room
I have many friends
but that doesn't help
People say that God can help me
but He didn't
I have heard of people dying
of this empty feeling
I don't want that happening to me
What can I do
to save my dying soul
Maybe death is the answer
but suicide is eternal hell
Oh please anyone save me
before my soul withers away

Nine months old
been crying since it was born
Won't it ever shut up
Can't it ever shut up

Sunrise to sunset
Noon to midnight
The kid cries forever
it's quickly driving me insane

It cries for food
It cries for water
It cries for mommy
I need to find an end to the crying

Hush little baby mommy's gone
daddy will make you better
Just watch the pillow engulf you
in sweet serenity

The silence is golden
Baby's done crying for good
daddy saw to that
but now mommy's crying

Daddy shouldn't worry
since I know how to stop
the crying for good

Men of thousands fighting for their homeland
on foreign territory
killing men they will never know
because Uncle Sam says

Soldiers getting shot
by their enemies
also by their own allies
because Uncle Sam says

Men dying for freedom
leaving their families
with only a memory
because Uncle Sam says

Soldier baby's crying
because daddy got shot
on the line of duty
because Uncle Sam says

Thousands dead
by the end of the day
all for our freedom
because Uncle Sam says

Life used to be fun
but not anymore
I used to go out with my friends
but now all I do is sit in the darkness of my room
I used to call girls on the phone
but now all I want to do is die
I used to go out to the movies
but now all I do is watch the darkness engulf me
I used to go to the Lord's House
but now I know longer believe
I used to talk to my parents
but now I can't even look at them
I used to like life
but now eternal rest seems better
I used to love
but now hate is my only emotion
I used to never be depressed
but now it runs my life
