Analysis of Searching
I won't cry over tomorrow's tears,
Wishing away all my deepest, dark fears.
Losing myself,drowning in the madness,
Trying fill an empty cup, only full of sadness.
Put on a smile, laugh, it all will be okay,
Searching reaching for anything to take the pain away.
Taken,lost,broken, maybe something in between
Mourning the death of me,but have I ever been seen?
At the bottom,eyes looking up, which direction do I take?
But each choice is wrong, no matter which I make.
Take it all in breathe it all out,
Your journey is supposed to be what it's all about.
So familiar, all of this, have I been here before?
Looking down at the choices of tears wet on the floor.
In the dark,there's a shadow,reaching out for me,
I don't know what it wants, it's difficult to see.
The pressure is consuming,it's getting hard to breathe,
I grasp the hand,now desperate, what will I become?
Coming upon the surface now,nothing left,where is it?Why am I so numb?
There's no manual or guide for what this life has in store,
Begging,pleading, please I can't take it anymore!
So I won't cry over tomorrow's tears,
'Cause time erodes you through all of these years.
