When I think of you my sky is no longer blue

The birds no longer fly and disappear from view

No glistening of the morning dew

Only raindrops off the tip of my shoe,

Unrealized dreams never meant to last

Why can’t I stop thinking of the past?

When I made that phone call I was aghast

The sea of tears is much too vast,

Can’t seem to straighten out my mind

No matter how much of your treachery I might find

How did I fall in love with one of your kind?

It seems my road in life has been mined,

The rules of love and war

How they impaled me to the core

Now I’ve no idea just what’s in store

Tell me what am I living for?

Although I know that I’m just a fool

A floating apparition in a wading pool

The fallen loser of a pistol duel

An organ donor in a medical school,

Don’t think I’ll ever find my way home

No matter how near and far I roam

Merely surviving beneath this heat dome

Can still feel the heartbreak right to the bone,

Lord take me if you will

It’s always been a test of wills

Seems the whole world will get its thrills

The walking dead will take their pills.
