Loss of Future
The Sea of Tears shines bright in fallen night
When love is lost and hate is found again
The Needle kills the man where he has lain
The loss of all that is promised and bright
Consumed with rage and without pain, delight
Mocked by the real and sane the tide does rain
Upon the sand and in the eye remain
A horrid gleam of addiction and loss
Oh mournful tale common and destroying
Must all give into the fake and unsound?
The words are false the sound is too cloying
So weep for the lost but more for the found.
