Nothing Grows

She hung herself one day
He hung himself that night
All the birds flew away
Then the old tree died

Around there nothing grows
Together they dangle holding hands in chains
Damned from the start
Tortured souls tangled together like a ball of snakes
Is this love
No one knows

The little boy ran away
The little girl was taken
Never to return
Where did the go

Time moves slow
The case grew cold
The lost have secrets
Some are born ro dare
