When the World Forgets

The world closes its eyes When the sun goes down The candles begin to sparkle And the moon starts to shine Lost and defenseless I roam alone and scared When the world forgets I become dust in the wind Eyes tightly closed I am swept under the rug But they’ll never miss me Because I am nothing The frozen cold breeze Leads me as a forgotten child When the world forgets I am cast off the road To make room Everyone pushes past And throws me aside for themselves When I am locked away and hidden They steal my soul When the world forgets I become a shadow chased by the sun All I know and can live Is darkness Evil thrives in my vacant shell As I commit crimes My self-control fades Just as my shadow And I crave every essence of hell When the world forgets Innocence disappears Each time the sun Erases the stars
