The crowds, the din, the bright lights
The food, the brawls the thinning might
And strong were we some day in the past
But doubts slowly crept as to how long we'll last
And in one swooping fell, they were laid to rest
Everyone was betting, and behold, we failed the test
Broken pieces lie everywhere in its wake
People walk on by with a hand to their mouth
I try t'open my mouth but the pain drowns the shout
Sometimes I think I am losing myself in the crowd

When even through the darkness my spirit had shone
Of tomorrow I seem to be suddenly unsure
And compromises my soul seems to have learnt to endure…
I will myself out of this bout of self pity
The time for strength is in the face of adversity
By my side the ones that I wished, might no longer be
But they're still my strength, even if we remain, but a memory…
