All you want is to be happy

Is that too much to ask?

All you want is love

Is that being too greedy?

At the mercy of depression

Begging it to end

But it doesn't want to

It has control

Spinning your thoughts

Into a web

It is the puppet master

All you can do is obey

And wait for someone to cut the strings

Concentrating on that little light

In a room filled with darkness

Giving you hope

Helping you live on

But the light is fading

What will you have once it is gone?

You are being guided

Deeper into the maze

Chance of escaping

Grows slim

Believing that someone

Might eventually come

Guide you forever out of the maze

But what do you do if they don't come?

Does anyone care enough to help?

People see what they want to see

Regardless of the pain shown to them

Lives taken

That could otherwise have been saved

Faith for the future

Fading fast

It was on a chain

That broke

A wild animal

That now attacks you

You try to get away

Only to be attacked again

Not being let go

Of the grasp

It is feeding on your fear

Screams are music to its ears

Drinking your tears

Truth is being poisoned

Your entire mind

Has been poisoned

Your soul

Is already gone

Been sold to the grave

You mind and body

Property of the dark

You have been asleep

For so long

To the world

Trying to remember

Who you really are

Your true self

Becoming harder and harder to reach

As it fades away

The piano

Plays in the background

A body

Covered in blood

Lifeless and cold

Light faded from the eyes

Long before death

A scream

They have been found

It is too late

They cannot be saved

Pain is almost never seen

Hidden away

From the eyes

When seen

Ignored it usually is

Seeing what we want to see

Hearing what we want to hear

What has happened to this world?
