16 years, such lifeless years
Tears of pain within...

Those eyes did penetrate every fiber of a once...
To those that cannot unravel the allusion behind...

It's been a long time and there's a lot of dead...
Though through the burning, I've learned...

As the world faded away from me
And as I lost my grip on faith...

It was nearly two in the morning
When she decided to go...

I don't know how I got here,
But I can't find an escape...

The words I choose to say to you never seem to get...
I don't know what you expect of me, or what's left...

I'm trying hard to pretend,
Am I doing well...

You are vicious my dear, you are vicious
And you come at the hardest of times...

I loved you every moment of every throbbing day
I was there for you in every single broken way...

How do I begin writing this when everyone else has...
Thousands of similar rhymes to explain how many...

Walking down the city street,
Not knowing what to say...
