Cry
by
Nathanael Smith

One and one is three
At least that's the way it ran with me
First Mom and Dad
The next thing I know is I was had

Scream, this world is cruel
Cry, nobody answers the tears
The masters have an iron rule
Adding punishments to my fears

Was all this my fault?
How am I to blame for this?
Maybe it is my fault
For causing all this mess

I tried to run away
To ease my ringing ears
To lose myself distantly
And cry my personal tears

There was once a time
(When we were friends)
That we weren't a crime
The means led to ends

Come back, please
My heart is calling
Return to me
My eyes are falling

Because I can't get it right
Because something went wrong
Now I'm sitting, waiting for light
I lost the verses to my song
