When You Sing

Squandered moments I spent

Caught up in my own life

The signs were there I did not see

Reaching out in your pain

You tried to warn me

But you could not find the words

Silence a deception

Invisible as you were

--

The the day your life would end

Unraveling before me then

I could not face the truth

Your time was near an end

--

When you sing I die

Breathing in the pain you feel inside

When you sing I cry

Like the voices in the heavens have arrived

--

Now your life has come and gone

I sit alone without your love

Grant my wish and take me away

To earth and soil I beg for

Without love there is hate

Anger boils and destroys my soul

Searching for meaning in your demise

Find no solace, no faith, just lies

--

Continue on my journey then

Sitting still upon my blackened road

Without direction, lost my way

No care, no love, no fight

--

When you sing I die

Breathing in the pain you feel inside

When you sing I cry

Like the voices in the heavens have arrived
