Faithless and Empty

Your faithless heart

Your empty eyes

Cannot see past

Even the simplest disguise

The only thoughts you have

Are their force-fed lies

And because they watch so closely

Any spark of remembrance soon dies

I watch among them, hidden

I see you sometimes rant

About to tell them about me

I make sure that you can’t

I observe them running you into the ground

So you can only lie there and pant

I wish to speak with you,

Like before, but I shan’t

Every minute you’re being watched

Your whole life, constantly inspected

You deserve much more than this,

Being forever disrespected

Who you truly are is torn apart

By the stuff in your blood they’ve injected

I still have hope because

In your eyes, your former light is reflected

No matter the cost I will

Return the faith in to your heart

The fire into your eyes

Give to you the power

To be the one who defies

Because of all they’ve done to you

It is them I have come to despise

I will save you because I love you

Even if I’m the one who dies
