Ahhh

Ahhh… you see a strange man all cursing Running up the wall all freakin’ His eyes tell yah he ain’t sleeping Ahhh… you show me a fist not bleeding You show me a life not suffering You show me a mind not hurting Ahhh… you ain’t of the pain I’m feeling You ain’t of the line I’m walking You ain’t of the words I’m talking You ain’t of the coin I’m scraping Ahhh… you see a strange man all prancing You see a soul lost in mad dancing You look into his eyes they’re reeling You think you see me all bleeding Ahhh… you walk on that side and keep walking You don’t dare smile when I’m talking You swim in my sea, you’re sinking You think you know me keep thinking Ahhh… you don’t drink the poison that I’m drinking You don’t eat the glass that I’m chewing You don’t see your life all dying You don’t see your kids eyes crying Ahhh… you don’t know this life it ain’t fixing You don’t hear this heart it ain’t beating You don’t know this mind it ain’t thinking You don’t live this life, it ain’t living.
