Efil Carbon Catastrophe
What is this people say life
I call it trouble and strife
Freddie said he sometimes wishes he had never been born
I wish it every day
I will walk the road I have been given
Although I would love to take a shortcut
This is not really living
I don't want to be constantly forgiven
Although I love the look and majesty of the great oak
And all the other forest folk
My life has been one big joke
But no one seems to be laughing
Mostly it's been raining with the odd ray of light
Then I am lost out of sight
This body is draining
A woman I loved said I was poison she wished she never loved me
I have never found the antidote I don't think it exists
I am a hanging drenched coat with holes in my pockets
I wish I could find it
How could I have closed the legs that opened to regurgitate this pitiful example
Of life
How I wish I could have twisted the cord and killed it in the womb
Now I have to endure this darkened tomb
With the odd ray of light taunting me and teasing
That life can be sunshine
I was born with an umbrella
Did no one think it strange
Shouldn't it have been left to starve
Yes another wasted life trouble and strife
A drain on mother's resources
A carbon catastrophe
A short circuit to the everlasting energy of creation
Please let reincarnation be a lie
Yes I open my arms.
