Harbored In Hell
HARBORED IN HELL
Well it looks like a special morning every one
Except for me who sees what a another salacious evening has done
No stars this eve be painted on a canvas of black
No brightness when another sun comes back
have you ever woken up at 5A.M. only to fear the sun?~
have you ever been frightened of a god with a gun?~
have you ever wished you were a shadow to shun?~
Was there one day in your life when you said "game over, collateral damage done"?~
did you ever awaken when midnight is three hours old and you want to run?~
Slip on your new second hand running shoes and run into the fearsome sun
and then there's that first bird who begins his song too early and is screeching in your ear
have you ever felt like shooting it to death without shedding a single tear?
tears, s**it, i start to cry and a f*****g flood will suddenly appear?
Have you ever opened your eyes and wished you'd never done so?
Just another night and another day of drudgery and another cup o' joe
While liars and lepers won't let me go
as they swear to things i don't want to know
Have you ever awoken with the wish to have been taken to the other side?
because he vowed, she wowed, and the rest of them f*****g lied
did you ever try in earnest to lift open your weary eyes and want your 'morrows to slip away?
Well all I can say and swear on a star to is that I've just described my average day
