Quarterbound

Blood curtains
Taint my sight
As it rains from scarlet skies
Run for cover
Cry for help
But i'm locked up in man made hell
No sun lights up my days
It's getting darker by the hour
Hide in shadows
To find peace
Drown the noise out with my screams

You fell once
Kept you down
Carrion falls
As you frown

Caught under the wheels
The concrete
Wears you down
All life is brief
Forever
Quarterbound

Faceless clones
Passing me by
Their antics hidden
By their smiles
All the same
Forced into line
Marching sounds drown out the cries

Hopeless
Fade to grey
Social
Prey

Caught under the wheels
The concrete
Wears you down
All life is brief
Forever
Quarterbound

Like dogs in the streets
The concrete
Wears you down
All life is brief
Forever
Quarterbound
