musical melancholy

If music drowned out the pain
Couldn’t you listen to some rain 
Why must you listen to the clashing and yelling
That drowns out the story they’re telling 
To find comfort in the chaos and raw emotion 
Songs that tell stories of melancholy and devotion 
Or the feeling when you’re too sad to think 
So you choose to wallow and sink 
If it hurt you so awfully 
The way they let you down slowly and softly 
So subtle and casually cruel 
Made you seem like a naive fool
Listen to a song that tells you the hardships they faced 
And the people who they chased
Maybe you won’t seem so lonely 
If you hear the pained cries that seem so ghostly
