It binds me here.
A strong rope tether.
It mocks my words.
Laughing and jeering.

Cruel world is just that, never lets me go.
Content to let my mind race, but always putting me back.
How can I still be here, yet dead to the world.
When I can see you there, arms out…wide

Don't let it crush you down
Don't give it your hand
Don't ask for a fresh start.
Don't give it a reason.

I see you trapped.
A cage of steel.
The cold reckoning.
I feel locked inside too.

Cruel world is  just that, never lets me go.
Content to let my mind race, but always putting me back.
How can I still be here, yet dead to the world.
When I can see you there, arms out…wide

Don't let it crush you down
Don't give it your hand.
Don't ask for a fresh start.
Don't give it a reason.

Yet I tried, so hard
My tears drop swift and heavy from the sky.
And I hear your voice.
And I know I can try again….
It's the voice of reason….

Cruel world is  just that, never lets me go. (So let go)
Content to let my mind race, but always putting me back. (Like I'll take that.)
How can I still be here, yet dead to the world. (We're alive)
When I can see you there, arms out…wide (wide open)

I won't let it crush you down
I'll give you my hand
Salvage what remains of this
I'll give you the reason.

I won't let it crush you down (It's resonating……….~)
I'll give you my hand
Salvage what remains of this
It's the voice of reason.
Another song I wrote, lyrics here. Also work in progress.

Let me know what you think!

The message this song delivers: Yes, the world is cruel. Don't give it a reason to slam you down, others feel the same way. So conquer it together. That's the voice of reason.

Such a beautiful poem, and it gives such a simple but needed message about the world we live in.
