Synaptic

Are you shivering
Did fortune clip your wings
Where's your empathy
For those fate gives no voice to?
You are trembling,
Staring out into the dark again
Trapped in your crib
Gently closes her eyes...for just one night...please don't cry
Despite her plight...all she needed was a chance

How can you sit in silence...
Never wanted anything,
Tore away her innocence
In darkness she is fading, her family failed her

When will this end?
How long are you content to play pretend?
No one's hurting, except you my friend
How would you repair this damage done?
How do you right these wrongs?
Drifts away to sleep, no kiss goodnight, no food to eat
A loveless life will taste defeat somehow less than fair it seems.
So you feel guilty by not lending helping hands you've killed me
So you feel guilty for this outcome is an off-told story

She never wanted anything,
Tore away her innocence
You were her one and only
She never wanted anything, tore away her innocence
Did you neglect your duty,
I can't listen

I can't believe she's gone
