What does it all matter, with the running tear
Who will listen, who will care?
Is this living, the life i don't share,
Blood runs through my bones,
And this never condones,
Imprisoned within the confines of my mind,
Along the beaten path, I fall behind,
Though I'm allowed, to write, rhyme, and think
I can't escape the past, bound in chains, with the poison i drink,
The vengeance, the victim, the verdict, all seen in time,
With this darkness, isolation, setting in... I still rhyme...

These rhymes don't matter, so long as I'm here,
What does it all matter, with the running tear
Who will listen, who will care?
Is this living, the life i don't share,
Blood runs through my bones,
And this never condones,
Imprisoned within the confines of my mind,
Along the beaten path, I fall behind,
Though I'm allowed, to write, rhyme, and think
I can't escape the past, bound in chains, with the poison i drink,
The vengeance, the victim, the verdict, all seen in time,
With this darkness, isolation, setting in... I still rhyme...
