3.1 PERISH I’ve no power to rise And see the ones I despise: I’m tired of them. Their regard for me’s trite… They are hopelessly blind To anything. I’ve no breath in my lungs Since my heart felt the thorns Of loneliness over here. I bled for too long… Now I’m almost gone… Helpless I lie… Cold shadows wrap the sky… Dark in my eye… I perish by and by. Clothed by their empathy, Immured by their apathy I drift away… Is there anyone here: Someone able to hear And fill the void? Someone I’m waiting for Is the one I’ll adore, He must be near, sure he’ll come… Carry me away cuz I don’t wanna stay… Helpless I lie… Cold shadows pass me by… I perish, I’ll die… But they will not hear me cry…
