The Pain

Rid me of the pain of this world for I have my own pain to bear 
Everytime they look at me it feels I'm burned by their stare 
Like I stole one of their limbs or killed the life out of their breath 
Everyday they flock at me, wishing for my death 

Oh Lord what have I done, to make them feel this bitterness? 
I couldn't even remember causing their emptiness 
I'm a sailor sailing my own ship like a horse with a blinker 
Is it my fault that I was blessed with thought to be deep thinker?
