DEAF EARS
DEAF EARS
As the darkness falls around me
I think of all my broken dreams
The vacant shadows at my feet
Leave only emptiness, it seems
Empty eyes that shine no more
Pierced by an everlasting pain
The thunder roaring in my head
Robs me of blessed sleep again
Now I tremble under the weight
Of the problems that hold me down
When all my hopes begin to collapse
There seems to be no one around
All that gave me joy has perished
Leaving sadness to feed my fears
Down on my knees I desperately beg
But my pleas fall only on deaf ears
As the darkness falls around me
I think of all my broken dreams
The vacant shadows at my feet
Leave only emptiness, it seems
Empty eyes that shine no more
Pierced by an everlasting pain
The thunder roaring in my head
Robs me of blessed sleep again
Now I tremble under the weight
Of the problems that hold me down
When all my hopes begin to collapse
There seems to be no one around
All that gave me joy has perished
Leaving sadness to feed my fears
Down on my knees I desperately beg
But my pleas fall only on deaf ears
