Long Lost Cause - Vandaveer
1.
He may stretch, but he won't tear…
he may give, but he'll never care…
he's got sunken eyes and a head full of static fears…
and when he dreams he hears a dreadful smear
of red and black and a choir of tears
that haven't cried out in so many years…
and though he may catch on with practice and reprieve,
I do believe he's a long lost cause…
2.
she may bend, but she won't break…
watch her give what she'll never take…
she's got wounded knees and a heart that aims to please…
and when she dreams she is a peaceful sound of quiet nights…
but quiet tears run down her cheeks…
she whimpers and veers off course…
of course, he wants to be near her,
but I'm afraid he's a long lost cause.
