Nothing Better

her dreams we re held close to her in vain

nothing left standing but what use to be a woman

now just a shattered shell of everything that use to be

silence became her only friend, distant echos are her long lost dreams

ashamed at her failures she fades into the darkness, the only place she now finds comfort

every opportunity given were just carrots on a string

she has nothing to bring, nothing worth signing about

whatever light there was, was put out without a doubt

she use to laugh, she use joke, she use to have better days

but now there's only pain running through her veins

she use to think of her future with hope and faith

but now she can be found on her knees alone and weeping

her someday no longer lives, her someday no longer lives

she use to dance freely and love openly

now there's only a growing black hole where she had a heart

smiles are now tears

dreams are now scars

where her light use to be shining bright, now is only a faint flicker at best

no one cared the struggles she had to bare

she never put her hand out for help cause she knew there would be no one there

at night she would have choice but to listen to the voices, pushing her that much closer

she use to laugh, she use to joke, she use to have better days

but now there's only pain running through her veins

she use to think of her future with hope and faith

but now she can be found on her knees alone and weeping

her someday no longer lives, her someday no longer lives

somewhere out there is a woman like me

wishing things weren't as bad as they seem

maybe someday waking up wont be such a struggle

but for now she will believe her someday will never come
