Higher power
Here I'am lost again
in my own mind.
A disfunctional coward pretending to cleanse
in which you can confide.
Dont tell me secrets,
tell me lies.
This is the self imposed torture and indignity,
of our own kind.
Our heads are like clouded balls of energy,
begging for release.
Where is this higher power to save me?
Help me please.
You make the hair on the back of my neck stand up,
I feel your touch.
There is a demon wound up inside of me,
what the f*ck does he want?
I'am a wasted shell he could not possibly,
live off my blood.
I slit my wrists then you will see,
my river of love.
I bet your face is pure ecstacy,
my one true dove.
My camels hump is broken,
no longer stores the rain.
What is this black cloud hanging over me?
I fear its my shame.
No longer can I play this sick and twisted game,
just tell me your name.
