My heart hurts for reasons I can't explain. I see the world like no one sees it And it all seems strange that the earth is exploding with rage, hate, and pain, yet the loudest seek themselves. The powerful are out for selfish gains and I dream dreams of the past with its shame and haunts. Jaunts to the dangerous with aims of operating on the edge of the Morning Star's domain. Heroic atrocities and calculated obliteration. Planning plans to maim and break those we saw as wicked. Or were told to by the game and the images, feeds, and comms. The screaming mothers with bloody seed and it came to us or them. I see the world as no one sees it. I see it in shame.
I still remember your face in the falling light. Forbidden nights to extinguish our pain. Or maybe my pain, you made your plight That night we danced in the falling rain Or in your room to hushed songs, feeling right when it's wrong and happy when it's shame. I won't hear you say my name like you had When you whispered in my ear of love to loss, And the one we’d lose in playing this game And I cried real, broken tears of tainted joy, In anguish to losing you to reality again. Cursed to suffer without you in my life And the joy of having seen your eyes in the failing light. I still remember.
