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...
