[hometext] => The struggle within...
[bodytext] => Softly first I hear you calling Building with intensity Try to keep myself from falling Taking everything from me Smother you with all my hatred Taking all the breath you breathe Itching like an ugly scab Begging me to rip and bleed Can’t you leave me to peace? No one deserves this grief. Why do you rip my heart from my chest? Please just leave my soul to rest. You promise comfort and solace Selling heartache and pain Your gold is for fools No profit to gain A serpent in sheep’s clothing Tempts with water in deserts heat Strip me from all I’m holding Beat me till all I feel is defeat Can’t you see I need this peace? I want no part of this grief. I’ll hold my heart, two hands on my chest. Please just leave my soul to rest. You took my friend in your cold hand I want him to come back to me Your grip is tight, he sinks in sand I continue to call out to thee 'You can’t continue on this way' I try to warn him of the danger He says it is the last day My concern turning quick to anger Can’t you leave us both to peace? We don’t deserve all this grief. Leave our hearts within our chests. Why can’t you lay our souls to rest? Take the pill you dumb a****** Say it is the only way Take the ticket, pay the toll Stop trying to save dignity Told me that you found a balance Gone and ****** it up again See you teeter on the edge A demon is your only friend Maybe you don’t want this peace. Maybe you enjoy the grief. Was there ever a heart in your chest? To late now to take the test. My throat is raw screaming in your ear Is anything getting in? I cannot save you from yourself A devil in your skin Tried to help you through it all To help you see things clearer Wasted breath, on a weathered wall But the wall is just a mirror… The wall is just a mirror… Dan Ochs [comments] => 1 [counter] => 212 [topic] => 66 [informant] => EloquentDegenerate [notes] => Mod 9 7/11/08 Bleep word.
