Deprived by your sorrow and pain
Inside your world there’s nothing to gain
Nothing to hide from – nothing to fear
Nothing to see and nothing to hear
Dying and lost – lost in your mind
You hide yourself where no one can find
No one will find you wrapped in your shame
All who’ve loved you have forgotten your name
Nothing is worth all that’s gone wrong
Can’t take the time to correct the flaws
Broken, hurt, forgotten and crying
I’m afraid soon is too late to start trying
Dying and lost – lost in your mind
You hide yourself where no one can find
No one will find you wrapped in your shame
All who’ve loved you have forgotten your name
Blistered and callused – beaten and bruised
You hate being loved and love to be used
Loving being hated and forced to crawl
You must love to fall
Because you fell into this wretched blue
Fell within the haze
You fell – gone without a sign
Waiting on the weight of your hate to end your pain
Dying and lost – lost in your mind
You hide yourself where no one can find
No one will find you wrapped in your shame
All who’ve loved you have forgotten your name

| i really like this poem, but i wonder if u realize how hard it must be for your friend to even think about standing up to her father. if u live with shit like that for long enough u begin to expect it as the norm. not becuase u love being hated or used, but just because u were never given the chance to know anything better. i just hope if u took the time to write something like that for your friend, u'll be there for her when she finally figures out how to stand up to that asshole. |

| Yes, I do realize how difficult it is for those being abused to stand up, and to turn the tides. However, the truth is sometimes the best antidote for cases of missing courage. The abused know full well what they're into, and that's what this song is about. It was originally called "Speculum" due to its earlier imagery of staring at your own reflection in a mirror. I also wrote a similar song called "Crawl" about this topic, which will be added again someday. "The Haze" speaks for itself, though - and describes the situation from the point of view of someone who has never been abused in fact. It is never an easy thing to accept, and keep in mind that some of the lyrics are slightly exagerated. Thanks for the feedback. |
