| ONE DAY THEY WON'T WIN |
by John M.
|
| There you are, standing |
| inside of a nightmare |
| just slightly worse |
| than the ones |
you live every day.
|
| You long for an end |
| a chance to let go |
| and just let the quicksand |
take you below.
|
| But reach, |
| reach out a hand. |
| You'll probably grab nothing |
| but more empty sand. |
| But if you give in |
| without even trying |
| the bastards who hurt you |
| will laugh |
as you're dying.
|
| For one of us soon |
| the scales may shatter |
| and all of the things |
| that make life matter |
| will not be enough |
| to outweigh the side |
| that holds the one reason |
that we want to die.
|
| But please, |
| once more, |
| reach.Reach out |
| your hand. You'll probably |
| find nothing but more empty sand |
| but if you just stop now |
| and give up the fight |
| the ones who were guilty |
will think they were right.
|
| My heart is being torn |
| as you sink in the sand |
| you're too far away now |
| you can't reach my hand |
| but if there's a spark left |
| if there's still a way |
| then make this the last time |
| they win while we pay. |
