Tonight
Tonight there is a girl alone
left in the dark that chills the bone
she walks the road her shadows foe
each step is took to greater woe
Home is every twisted street
she travels through on weary feet
her heart was lost some years ago
and now is hard and cold as stone
Her friends consist of shadows that
she meets in alleys to brush past
as one more joint is handed off
to numb reality's harsh grasp
She used to care for more than this
but then was broken by Life's fist
alone a lost and haunted soul
she is of now and knows no more
The world's an unforgiving beast
that drinks the blood of all the least
she tells herself this as she sleeps
to stay the tears longed to release
And as a ruined girl she lays
left nothing but to weep and pray
you hold a hope inside yourself
that secretly is untold wealth
If she dies tonight I ask
did you do your own life's task
to make a soul a better one
or did you fail as out time runs
For tonight that girl lies dead
who's fault is that is left unsaid
but now I leave you this to right
there is a boy alone tonight
