Give me a reason to care

 Here and now, or then and there
No one will ever know when or where
As a scent of conflict lingers in the air
We all can't help but wonder if it is fair
If it is fair to be unable to share
The pain within, to be aware
Of all your sins, and compare
All your losses to all your wins
But beware the clock as it strikes midnight
And all the ruminations begin
Again and again everyday, it's so common
That it has wiped out any trace of a grin
That your face used to wear, and then
You find it so rare that you feel a thing
But pain and suffering and the world combined
Can't ease all the mistakes you've left behind
Tried to move on but you can't
Eaten away by your past
Learn to live with them, and cope
But it doesn't last
And it ends every night before long
You lay back in bed and contemplate
All your issues and your mistakes
Your crimes and sins and all that has been
Has left you condemned, afraid
Condemning yourself to an existence you can't
Comprehend the reason you used to chant
You stare at the world, and into the mirror
And yell at the top of your lungs
"Give me a reason to care"
"Give me a reason to care"
"A single reason, thin as hair"
Something you're missing dearly
Something that'll make you fare better
Something to fill your query
To prepare your consciousness, letter by letter
Word for word you hear your past
Repeat itself in your mind
You imagined every possibility in life
Every day for you is a deja vu
Every night you attempt to push through
But to what end, you ask yourself
"Give me a reason to care"
"Give me a reason to care"
"A single reason, thin as hair"
"Give me a reason to care"
