Hardened City Hearts
By: Lai

Another death, another day,
Another one, with something to say.
"Oh, this one was young, what a shame."
In a week, they'll all be the same.

I'd like you to keep your heart in the freezer,
Because someone dies every day,
I'd think life would be sweeter
When you keep those feelings away.

"Only a child? That's a twist.
Someone loved them? That's absurd.
She's so small, she couldn't be missed."
Emotion's such a nasty word.
