Many Thousands Gone
Verse 1
Her bluest eye is darker than tar
Once captivating, now sullen and cold
Long, golden hair is frizzled and burnt
Lips are cracked, body is dry and rough
She is dangerously shy
Coming back to herself will be no small feat
Lost doesn't even begin to describe her state of mind
Fixing what's broken seems to be impossible
Verse 2
His heart is colder than ice
Once full of warmth, now weak and shallow
Confidence morphed into arrogance
Disdain for others grows with each passing day
Their sentience no longer remains
It's the difference between living and being alive
These new times are nothing more than a shill for death
Years will seem to pass within seconds
Chorus 1
Identities are like hurricanes
When emotional roller coasters hit shore
They can be swept away
Truth is like a tornado
Sometimes unexpected but powerful
Many survive
Unfortunately, many thousands gone
Chorus 2
Life is like a glass of water
With complexities ranging from being half full
To being half empty
Truth is like a tornado
Sometimes unexpected but powerful
Many survive
Unfortunately, many thousands gone
