Straight In the Eye: Part 3

Who knows where the wicked wind do blow... Flee from me, deep anxiety Depression and remorse look at me Straight in the eye Apprehension and solitude stare at me They all jeer at me wickedly...avarice in their heart Take heart - the night will shine like the day Don't look me down...don't let me sponge in dismay Don't look at me straight in the eye Look the other way - I'm naked and ashamed Feeling this shame Feeling this shame Without a honorable name Who is the one to blame? Is it I? Tell me now! Look at me! Look at me straight in the eye I won't tolerate any lies...I need the truth and don't ask why Don't reject me I know that I'm hideous Don't stomp on me I know that I'm a worthless being, Just feel for me...don't let this misery Take a toll on me Don't let it drown out the happiness we once shared I often wished that I was free And, yet I still wonder if anyone in this world cared... Has anyone cared about me? Listen to me... Don't shy away from me Gaze into my eyes Tell me, darling - was I living in the pit of lies All along? H-How I long How I long for His mercy To illuminate me... (SHTILL IN THE EDITING WORLD)
