When (Machine Gun)

When (Machine Gun)

When the cities begin to crumble

When the earth cracks open its gaping maw

When children cry uncontrollably

When the elderly live to see loves mortality

When friendships end

When love becomes hatred

When lust is not enough

When drink is not enough

When drugs are not enough

When god is not enough

When entertainment is hollow

When the books are all blank

When the only sound is silence

When you give up

When you carry on

When you forget

When you lose yourself in the moment

When you escape momentarily

When pain grips you

When love mutilates you

When children run from you

When enough is never so

When too much is not a question

When you cry alone

When you carry the casket

When you relinquish your past

When it becomes that

When it falls apart

When it is glued together again

When you embrace

When you neglect

When you scream

When you cry

When you dream

When you let it

When you get it

When you take a life

When you give life

When you write

When you go to church

When you vote

When you have bad choices

When that shoelace breaks

When it ends inevitably

When it's over

When it begins

IT WILL SOUND LIKE THIS
