It really bugs me That at every corner, A question poses No forewarning; As if tradition Needs new emissions, Changing rules With every move.

Shivering in an endless shade, I promise you it never goes away. Be my crucifix hold me up, and feel me cry. Feast your eyes, Can't you see me.
I know you're close behind, I can feel your breath, Hidden where I am blind, Pulling me into death. Was my freedom just another one of your lies. Do I even have a claim to my life.
Broken Chair I have a chair but it's broken. I won't let go. I'm carrying my broken chair. We move from state to state. I don't share your pain, I don't hear your cry.

Rhaspy vocals, tired and worn. Working weekdays, morals torn. Concience broken, almost done. Singing in bars since 21. Needles sting and tablets burning. For heavens door, a man left yearning.
*bad language It's a little strange, a little funny. If you feel the same, sing it for me. Get up on your feet, if you want to compete. Or you can back up slowly if you want to retreat.

I hear the voices of big waves on seashore, Rising and coming towards me to encore. Countless gifts I received on this day. Wrapped with honesty or duplicity. What can I say.
Imprisoned in walls, sixty feet tall. The fear of the known and scared of it all. Not a world to live in, not a happy place. Racing against Death but He can't keep pace.
