Quiet Despair

American burlesque
The wounded, the crippled and the dead
The quiet despair
Of those all left behind
Reviled for the tears that they shed
In quiet despair

Loving, I should more
But what is it good for?

The universal language of violence
The line in the sand
The quiet despair
The hedonistic, narcissistic savagery
Programmed and planned
In quiet despair

Loving, I should more
But what is it good for?

Disconnecting, resurrecting demons
The darkness all around
The quiet despair

How can I tell you I love you?
How can I know that I love you?

Loving, I should more
But what is it good for?

Disconnecting, resurrecting demons
The darkness all around
The quiet despair

How can I tell you I love you?
How can I know that I love you?

The softness of the golden orange sunrise
So quickly disappears
In quiet despair
Fleeting and ephemeral
Revealing the harshness that we fear
In quiet despair

Quiet despair
Quiet despair
