Drip, drip, drip…

Our lives are a chain of events
Our actions precede our paths
The choices we make
Determine our past

Drip, drip, drip…

Our lives are an electric grid
Our interactions create sparks
The way we communicate
Will leave our marks

Drip, drip, drip…

Our words are our thoughts
Our thoughts are our enemies
The way we feel
Are our insecurities

Drip, drip, drip…

Our words are our weapons
Our ridicules meant to injure
The way we fight
Leaves no censure

Drip, drip, drip…

Our minds are our hearts
Our emotions can make us think
The injuries we take
Can leave us on the brink

Drip, drip, drip…

Our minds are against us
Our hearts say we are unwanted
The whispers in the air
Leave us feeling haunted

Drip, drip, drip…

Our tears are the real us
Our pain given in body
The uncompleted actions
That could have saved somebody

Drip, drip, drip…

Our tears are our regret
Our love for those we’ve lost
The too late understanding
Where suicide’s the cost

Drip, drip, drip…
