The Path of Least Existence

The Path Of Least Existence If someone must hurt, let it be me I cannot opt out of this suffering Damned if I do, and damned if I don't So I harden my will, and say that I won't This bed that I lie in I made by myself Tossing and turning in insomnia's spell Sweating and shaking with clenched open eyes Joints and bones aching as half of me dies One half of me dies so the other can live Takes more from me than I have to give But give I still do as I throw me away As long as they're happy I guess it's okay Who needs friends? Not I. No no no. There is space but for 1, and it leaves me alone So here I will wait, for a morsel or crumb And be ever so grateful if it ever should come Expect nothing less than my all, just for you My body, my mind, and the soles of my shoes My feet are so tired and my spirit worn thin Holding it up holds me under again It is what it is, what it isn't, it's not Never can lose what I never got Come fire, come water, come wind, and come earth I'll pay all the cost for whatever it's worth
