Why God should I
Be lost and confused
Why God should I
Be the one to abuse

This liquid
This sauce
This venom
At what cost?
Does this man
That is lost
Sip eternal death
And sin
At every breath

Why God Should I
Have none to call my own
Why God Should I
Have my heart broken and thrown

Should I
Give in to this pain
Feel the hurt and the shame
Should I
Give in to this feeling
Of death that is stealing

Why God should I
Live through such theft
Why God should I
Scavenge for what is left

Is it wrong that I long
For a girl who knows not I
Is it wrong that I wish to belong
With a girl who knows not I

Perhaps I should crawl
Perhaps I should lie
Perhaps I should wait
Perhaps I should cry

Or shall I grip
The shaft of vengeance
This shaft of freedom
This shaft of diligence
This shaft of...

This shaft of...

It bleeds my soul
For all to see
Opens a door
It is the key

A penny for my thoughts
May buy my silver tongue
A line of silver
Upon a cloud
Is a breath of fresh air
For this blackened lung

With my heart upon my sleeve
My mind open and free
This world of pain I leave
For the fruitful tree

I hope and pray she sees me there
Plucking from that tree
I hope and pray she smiles at me there
Eating the fruit of thee

Sympathy
Symbolic and true
Empathy
Like mornings residue

Give me a stage.
God.
Give me a stage.
