Desperation
I bury my sorrows in burrows
 Burrows locked in my mind
 With a deadbolt, latch, and keypad
 With a key no one can find
 
 I dig a hole in surrender
 In the pit of my grief and my pain
 Wet with the tears of my promise
 In a rainstorm without any rain
 
 I run to the east for an answer
 Running to where the east ends
 Although I am running a war
 Where no one ever defends
 
 I cry tears of honest frustration
 Crying for the breaking of dawn
 Crying because who can smile
 When no one can ever move on?
 
 I climb to the top of the heartache
 To stitch the cut where i bleed
 To reap the field of our harvest
 That started as merely a seed
 
 I kiss the face of the oldest clock
 The hour hand faster to wined 
 Locked in a chest of darkness
 With a key no one can find
