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. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde |
