intrigue

I don't think your listening, you've blocked your ears
and now your wondering how it became such a farce

every time, its the same, always repeated never a new game
watch it all, like on a telly, even a big screen
and continue to surmise the reprise to the lies that envelop you
don't deny, you've seen it all before
the way the ball moves from the court to the hoop
from the hands to the air
and imagine this, the very fact of the meaning the one thing that you decided was truth?
maybe its not so true any more, and so you continue to watch on
and wonder
and ponder
and ignore all the screaming noises around
the sudden influx of instances that should have been cast off, hit the ground
I don't know why its happening like this, maybe you should have
done something different, pointed the finger at another poor soul
anything to take the focus away from you
you
the one that thought you had it altogether
the one that felt that the very world revolved around you
and now, you wonder if anything revolves at all
your stuck in a rut and frankly you're not in any hurry to get out
thats why, people keep on passing you by
they wave and smile and say what you think resembles your name
but you can't be sure because you became deaf with all the lies you fed off
despising all that lives around you, becoming one with the darkness
like a vampire, sucking the life from everything that is
you can't breathe

I saw you laying there, huddled,
I saw you there broken
and i was shamed for you
i stood there and watched countless people wave and smile
I stood there and saw people give lip service
not one of them stopped to save you
not one of them strecthed forward their hand
guilty and depressed i cried aloud and made the world know my pain
why is it that no one will help you?
can they not see you in your pain?
can they not hear you calling?
can they not feel your hurt?
I certainly can
The darkness is growing now
faster now, then i was used to
so i sent out a messenger
let the four corners of the earth know it is time

Along came a man
nothing about him seemed special
nothing about him stood out
and yet, you saw him and knew the end was nigh
he walked through the city with not a care on his mind
heading straight for you, he reached forth
and took your hand
