The natural state is
shameful.
The skin,
once smooth
now calice
drownding in rich fragrance and
creams
Hair is plucked, cut, shaped, and
trimmed.
Animal instincts our squashed
with regulation and normalness.
Our eyes seek, wishing to
pounce
But our hamstrings are cut;
unable to spring.
A human is what is told to be
There is no humaneness...
just an animal being
pampered by rosy makeup
Roots are buried
our skin is sinful
Few sane remain
frowned upon
by proper citizens who love
to demonstrate proper behavior.
Please reach out to me,
in front of you i stand
Faithfully
I, walk the
side lines,
day by day
night by night,
Waiting patiently
for you to come
rescue me.
Father....Im lookign to you
Show me the way, some how ive strayed
Father....Im reaching for you
Please take my hand and gide me through, this life
Youre like the
wind in a storm,
blowing every which way,
I know, youre with me
each step of
each day ,
Drownding in sorrows,
please minimize this pain,
Take me somewhere
far, away.
Please lead me by your hand
I'm waiting paitently for
your, promise land.
Father....Im lookign to you
Show me the way, some how ive strayed
Father....Im reaching for you
Please take my hand and gide me through, this life
Walking out side has become a chore,
Ive become feirce of my surrounding consumed by guilt, shame and hate.
Wishing I could turn back the clock and free my self from this prison that holds me.
Each step burns and tears the pain has become unbearable and Im not sure of the truth
anymore.
Dreams have turned to reality and its becoming harder to breath.
I utter the words "HELP ME"! but no one can hear my plea.
Tears fall from my eyes and fill my lungs suffucating and drownding,
I try to fight these temptations but I fear that Im already to far from redemtion.
So I sit in my prison and wait for what fate has in store.
My only hope is that I wont be forgotten.
I'm crawling on the glass ground
pealing for you to stop
I cry stop your hurting me
but you hit harder
you grab harder
half an hour passed
I'm drownding in my crimson pool
your swimming in tears
held up inside
screaming to be set free
free me from this burden you ask
free me
free me
free me!
Falling down in blue misery I find myself
in a constant maze of eternal pain
Dried out from an intense heat
that my body can't seem to sustaine.
Trapped in an iron box from which the
escape is pointless so take me now.
Everyone seems to have the tickets
to my life and I'm the star of the show.
I'm falling down in blue misery
drownding in a bucket of my own tears.
So I'm tipping this enormous bucket
hoping its going to wash away the past ten years.
And still I reside here in blue misery
wading through the pieces of my own life
For some unknown reason I hold on
to that pain that causes so much strife.
I runaway from all no time to be blinded.
I runaway so maybe one day I will Know what I decieded.
I runaway in order to maintain stability.
I runaway only gain more ability.
I runaway from one city to the next so I maintain sanity.
I runaway from all so none of them can understand or even if they do to scared of
me the will one day realize that they had secrets mine were bigger.
I runaway because they all make me pull the trigger.
I runaway because as twisted as my sister she was my blood.
I runaway because they see now how they entered my hood.
I runaway from me because somewhere ina ll this I lost who I am,who am I.(I
FORGOT I KILLED MYSELF).
i runaway from myself because in her name I am dead but, she lives.
I runaway from myself my fame my money because I am dead so is it.
I RUNAWAY BECAUSE I AM DROWNDING IN ALL THEESE LIVES WHO AM I
NOBODYS GIVES A THRILL
I RUNAway keeping my secrets to the family so I can again play this game my
name is my name is??????????????/ I FORGOT NOW CAN THE REAL ME BE
FREEE EVER
I runaway because I am gone forever!
