Help Me See
Help me See
I've been around for so long
I wonder when my time will come
Sitting here at the intersection
holding myself all together and waiting
i see the dead ends all getting closer
Time is running out, speak up, say something!
For How long will I be holdin on
This burden is becoming an overload
How i wish that i could fly
to another state inside of mind, or die
I set my hopes and let them sail
off the shores of no prosperity
Am i still far away from home
why do I have to go through more
I can't even gather a thought
I feel so lonely, i feel so terrified
If only i could find a single star
to shine upon the darkness inside of me now...
For How long will I be holdin on
This burden is becoming an overload
How i wish that i could fly
to another state of mind, or die
I will set my hopes and let them sail
off the shores of no prosperity
What hurts me the most
is that there isnt an open door
people live off some truth
too vulnerable to dispute... excuse me, but...
how could i drug my intellect
with such ridiculous myths
For How long will I be holdin on
This burden is becoming an overload
How i wish that i could fly
to another state of mind, or die
I will set my hopes and let them sail
off the shores of no prosperity
i dont see why you cant reply to me
why may i think if i may not question thee
why is there a class of favoured humans
and the rest are a herd of sheep, as it seems
pray and pass around the destiny of slavery
relentless owes to God, no chance to think
For How long will I be holdin on
This burden is becoming an overload
How i wish that i could fly
to another state of mind, or die
I will set my hopes and let them sail
off the shores of no prosperity
