Sad State of Affairs

You don't know my pain
You don't know my angst
You never tried to understand
You never tried to help
It's a sad state of affairs

I'm digging away trying to find a heart
It's beating away down there beyond grasp
But it's not my heart I'm digging for
That's lying shattered at my feet
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Even when it's been broken so many times
And it's not with a needle and thread
Something so fragile but so strong

You can't find your way
You can't find your heart
You won't ever be free
You won't ever be happy
It's a sad state of affairs

Even while I'm digging you're laughing
In your shadow I see a change
So almost imperceptible but so evil
It's a curse that's been placed on you
And you don't have the heart to shake it
Surely I'm not the only one who sees
Not everyone can be so blind
Don't give me that look because it's true

You couldn't raise a hand
You couldn't raise a hope
You wouldn't believe in me
You wouldn't believe friendship
It's a sad state of affairs

This shovel's worn out and still no find
It's getting warm down here, too warm
I can almost feel where I'm headed
The paths beaten with your footsteps
But I won't let that happen to me
Maybe I can't stop myself anymore
You're dragging me down with you
We all know you don't want to go alone

You will always be different
You will always be risky
You can be so selfish
You can be so mean
It's a sad state of affairs

While your heart is freezing like ice
Your sould is burning in the fires of hell
Every time you touch me you scar me
I've got too many scars from you now
That should tell you something
But the flames obstruct your view
And you can't see what you're doing
In the end you're going to be my murderer

You might try to be nice
You might try to be angelic
You could fix my heart
You could fix my soul
It's a sad state of affairs
