Metaphor of Your Prayers
in the flesh
in the gutter of life
step by step to lead me to success
for a better life to live
what are we fighting for?
if life picked a fight
would god show up
would the devil cry?
metaphor of life
prophetic lie?
destiny?
million dollar man
read your contract
proof of free will
some day
no fight over my deathwish
but will you let me pass myself by
some call me fate
a destiny
life's stages of awareness
Life held hostage in the gutter
showed up for your birthday
who showed up for the fight?
center stage of heartache of the worlds wars
in the middle of poverty and who pulls which strings
I am your metaphor of life tortured
i will be discovered in the gutter
\what you do from there isn't entirely up to me
man's will to do good
read your contract
while you judge me
one angel falls to take my pain away
can you fake it
just for one more day
death takes its toll
no love left for living
celebration of the end
whose gonna be there to stand up for you
crucify yourself
switching tracks
the game driving me crazy
would you believe it
it could be true
you dont suppose im for real
misunderstood
self loathing
reality's birthday came true
uninvited again to my own death bed
