World of tears
Was I not good enough?
Did I let you down?
One moment I was king of the hill
And I was looking
forward to every day with longing, desire
I could trust the fire in my heart
and no matter what the day would bring,
my purpose of being was always the same
and always there for me
you.
Now I’m a mall,
no longer standing tall
bent and lonely
listening to a song we once shared
Now I’m lonely again, alone
Gone is all you gave to me
And I’m left
not right
with nothing but a photo album
and a lot of pain,
a lot of anger
Gone is the focus, the light
I see now it blinded me
to what should not be
But only in your mind
It was an inside job,
sealed before we even started
and where does it get us? Me?
I can’t express my resentment
of your stupidity and blindness
of clinging to your mute life and forsaking reason
Because I don’t want to hurt you
and I don’t want you to hurt yourself
I can’t tell you about your religion,
that it’s oppressive, discriminative, uncompromising
So what is left for you?
Living in your world, forget about all this ado.
Not “just” like this, but like it anyway.
And for me…?
Living in a world that feels like rain,
a world of pain
a world of tears.
And that’s all that’s left of all we had?
Since it’s always all been your party anyway
I’ll let you make the call…
Tell me now,
Is there something, anything left
of us, the miracle gone astray
or are you really trying to chuck it all,
throw it all away?
I never had any control,
never had any style
please let me be myself
At least for a little while…
Pick up the pieces and start over
Over and over again
Till you find your road to the stars
And when you finally do,
pick me up,
I’ll be waiting out there,
somewhere
looking at the Earth
from a lava island on Mars.
