pull free of the steel chain bound to my ankle
to make it through a night that almost drove me mad
with the teeth gnashing and convulsions
distraught by what I feel,
only my consciousness lost of its senses and out of control
gently urges me on.
if I can just lay this body atop another,
my sad past would be just another funny story of yesteryear.
the expectation, obligation and farce I bear on both shoulders
I supress the urge to toss it away, or squash it under foot
distraught by misfortune,
only my consciousness lost of its senses, and out of control strongly urges me on
if I can just lay this body atop another,
my sad past would be just another funny story of ysteryear
if I can just lay my lips upon another's
my sad dream would be just another funny story of the past
as you look to the heavens and pray,
I'll grab your hand and take you there now.
because the cold sky offers no salvation
the expectation, obligation and farce I bear on both shoulders
I supress the urge to toss it away, or squash it under foot
distraught by passion,
only my consciousness, lost of its senses, and out of control
strongly urges me on
if I can just lay this body atop another,
my sad past would be just another funny story of yesteryear.
if I can just lay my lips upon another's
my sad dream would be just another funny story of the past
as you look to the heavens and pray,
I'll grab your hand and take you there now.
because an uncaring god offers no salvation
