The Wandering Man

Pretend I am your savior.
Pretend I am your whore.
Pretend I have a waiver.
Pretend to be ignored.
Pretend I am not here.
Pretend to be annoyed.
Pretend to scream in fear.

Why am I so annoyed?
What did I do wrong?
Why am I so annoyed?
Let's pretend we are strong.

Invite me into your home.
Invite me into your soul.
Invite me and let me roam.
Invite the lives you stole.
Invite me to do all I can.
Invite a man to take my role.
Invite me, the wandering man.
