Relentless overtures

Relentless overtures

Demanding to be heard

Above the sound

Of discordant

Distress

Nothing disappears

Other than is hidden

Beneath

A confusion

Of wounded souls

Waiting for an opening

To be set free

Their fragile hearts

Swallow all the pain

That comes their way

Oh let them be

Oh let them be

Painful gestures

Scattered in disgust

Desperate concertos

Echoing the same songs

Heard in the cradle

We are redemption

When we rise above

The monotone

Nothing is gained

Other than is found

Beneath

A dross

Of wasteful things

Waiting without wanting

To find the key

Loneliness is

A painful truth to see

Oh let them be

Oh let them be.
