I can't feel anymore

[dawnsday]

i can’t feel anymore

there’s something gone from me, wrong with me, forgotten so long with me

i can’t feel anymore

I've grown so cold from the pain that i’ve known and my eyes seem too old,
though i’m young in the soul

i don’t feel anymore

turned my back on the heat, the emotion in me, for it backfires you see, when i let it succeed to control me, to grow in me and eventually to own me

i won’t feel anymore

you can critisize, patronize, think you know what’s in these eyes, but i realize i’m alive and should’ve long ago died

my car was my home, food i don’t know, i got by, i try to survive and thank god i’m alive but i’m sick of this life

i won’t feel anymore

no anger, or pain, or hate, i refrain to say that i’ll never love again, but that be the great sin upon all who here lives

I still feel some

for vagabonds on streets, with nothing to eat, much worse off then me, now that i’ve shelter and heat

for babies who are left to fend for themselves, with no hope in this hell, praying inside that god might decide to provide some relief

out there on the streets there are children on drugs having sex before hugs, stealling and dealing and crying out for some love

i wish i didn’t feel anymore

i’ve had my share of hard times, been long tossed aside and what i can’t abide is the sight of these kids, with out homes as it is, being judged for the sins of their mom’s drug habits

being labeled as lost, cause of some line they crossed, so the we just toss them away and focus on they who are already loved and kissed and hugged, for whom people still pray

i wish i didn’t feel anymore

cause it tears me apart, shatters my heart, that in all that we are, we can’t seem to part with our cash, our things, or shiny new rings, our pimped out new cars, is that who we are?

a nation who blames them who have nothing to save, they spend all their dollars to eat just once a day, while you ride high in your escalade?

i still feel all the time

i try to deny, but each night i cry for what i have suffered and what i have lied, i weep for the children being taught love is bought and the values in homes we have so often lost

for the lack of ideals cause nothing appeals to us more then insation for quick gratification, just to please each single need, never seeing that we are still so empty

i feel all too much

for the apathy, gravity of this galaxy, set to see while i lived and learned so many will burn for they’ve no one to turn to, to cry to, or sigh to, say i want to try to be more then i am

could you reach out your hand, give them more then you can, the last dime you own, the only words you know, to show how to be something more and to grow

do you feel anymore?

do you care, can you bear in the world that’s out there, that nobody seems to believe in anything but possessions and things

i hope and i pray that the things that i say will be taken someday by my child and i’ll leave this place better then i came

will you suffer the loss of the things that cost dollars and cents to give happiness to the kids god has blessed with such pure innocence

will you be so much more then a house, be a home be a place they can roam and learn and earn the character they deserve

do you feel anymore?

you say you do, but i’ve one question for you, if you dare to seek change and help rearrange this world that is burning is yearning for more

what are you gonna do about it?
