shadows fall over this small town tonight   snuffing out the remains of the evening light   my mind is clouded - with the events of the day   why is life torturing me this way?   i keep running it back - running it back through my mind   but what do i get - what do i expect to find   my eyes drop to the floor - and every step i take forward   seems so unsure   so scream out...    crying to a world that does not care   i'm reaching through the black - and finding nothing there   i never felt so all alone - and so cramped all at once   trying to forget about a world    that turned up it's nose and passed me by   sleep washes over this tired soul    can't help but let this night    swallow me whole   awake to find - the sun staring down   i squint my eyes to avoid the truth of no resolution found.
