So shallow, not even an infant could drown within this compassion but I feel as if I've drowned just the same But rather from my ignorance that unconditional love might exist I forgot the numbness I forgot the frustration that makes up my daily routine of just getting by I am just barely getting by emotionally Judgment. Disappointment A lack of patience for me This is not security, but such a pretty package The guise is broken as the truth rears it's ugly head unto me A drunken soul, I'm conscious again I've weakened from my stupor for the last time So content caressed in rejection For it's all that love has ever led to Once again, the dying man lays down the law for this peon It's his last grasp at control A control that he lost in infidelity... From today to you I'm dead as an order accepting son Your searching and searching But your family isn't at the bottom of any bottle You're smoking us away You're choking on your own No place to hide other than my tears They still give me away Do all things end like this? Must all things end like this? So shallow I take everything with a grain of salt

The embodiment of innocence stripped from her own territory America's child has passed so close to freedom Now closest with her maker, the ten lifetimes of terror were experienced by this frail body Where have our children gone? They are not to be found amongst this tabloid filth over kill An embarrassing lack of responsibility A vicious cycle of soap opera drama pettiness No known beginning and no end in sight This must be our darkest hour when gossip takes priority over our young Are we this shallow? Are we this apathetic? Are we this bored? Prove me wrong The child is mine, now that she has been thrown away The interest is gone, so now the others suffer They suffer unto a grotesque attention span deficit monster They turned our play yards into graveyards So we cried every night for a week Squeezing as much concern allowed between each sports update You cried every night for a week, yet I still mourn Have you forgotten their faces? Patience is a virtue I won't instate I must see the faces of every abductee I must taste the pain Remind me of our system atrocities Don't let me forget. Don't let me forget Why haven't we drawn a line? Instead, we feed and shelter them We support the evil and pay their debts We've paid their debts Why can't we win?
