Melancholy

Make the sadness go away

Come back another day

For years I've tried to teach

But their eyes are empty

Empty too I have become

For them I must die

A sad and troubled race

An ungrateful troubled place

I see the sadness in their eyes

Melancholy in their cries

Devoid of all the passion

The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me

This is what I cry for

Look at the pain around me

This is what I'll die for

Make the sadness go away

Come back another day

The things I've said and done

Don't matter to anyone

But still, you push me to see

Something, I can never be

Why am I their shattered king?

I don't mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes

Melancholy in their cries

Devoid of all the passion

The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me

This is what I cry for

Look at the pain around me

This is what I'll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes

Melancholy in their cries

Devoid of all the passion

The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me

This is what I cry for

Look at the pain around me

This is what I'll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes

Melancholy in their cries

Devoid of all the passion

The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me

This is what I cry for

Look at the pain around me

This is what I'll die for
