Interrogated innocence

In a land where you’ve never ventured,
Where the cruelty of humanity dwells,
The secrets won’t escape its walls,
You wouldn’t want to know.

A suffocating silence,
Denies whispers from the wind,
As the tears of life come pouring down,
Into rivers of innocent souls,
Drip, do, drip, not, drip, tell.

A suffocating silence,
Denies whispers from the wind,
As the blood of death comes pouring down,
Into oceans of broken hearts,
Drop, any, drop, one, drop, this.

In a land where I used to venture,
Where the cruelty of humanity dwells,
I hear the echo’s calling,
You see, you have to know.

The memories live inside me,
They made me, who I am,
Of the people who walked beside me,
The children who held my hand.

I ran and fought and hid down deep,
for me a rescue came,
but i'll never find my true escape,
I'll never be the same.

I used to roam among them,
My heart once knew their pain,
Yet still I can not save them,
I know that i'm to blame.

Now i live on the outside,
Waiting. Searching for a way,
And all I see is their hurt and loss,
And all I hear is their screams of pain,
And I wonder now, how can they survive?
