(Verse 1)
Thirsty, yet turn from the well
Tired, yet further I dwell
Hoping that I will collapse
Praying that something snaps

I feel your presence, it follows behind me…
I feel your light, it cast the shadows I see

But aren’t we the depiction
Of a cruel contradiction (dit dit dit-diiit dah)
Who am i

(Bridge 1)
Who am I that I may call to you
Who am I that I may fall to you
Who am I to be someone you love?

Who are we, For what we have done
Who are we, For what we have become
Who are we to be those whom you love?

(Pre-Chorus) only 2nd time
I am weary, I am dreary
but I feel you, still hear me

(Chorus)
We are yours, I am yours.
But we hate, steal, ****.   (boom boom dit dit dah, dit dit dah dah dah)
We betray your will
Who are we, who am I
I am….. yours  (yo-orss)

(Verse 2)
Thirsty, yet your well remain
Tired, yet you chase again
Hoping that I will bend
Praying that my-heart mends

I feel your presence, it follows beside me…
I feel your light, it clears the shadows I see

But aren’t we the depiction
Of a cruel contradiction (dit dit dit-diiit dah)
Wonder now

(Bridge 2)
Do you love me, like I hate myself?
Do you free me, like I build my cell?
Are you certain as we are unsure?

Can it be, that you’d forgive the sin?
Can it be, that you’d call-us your kin?
Are you proud as I am ashamed?
(To pre chorus for 2nd time and end)
From prose to song, i needed to write. Don’t mind the (paren notes, they're for me rhythm notes)

Using that palette
How did you use this to write?
They all look so gray…
You painted beautifully with those grays. Heh… im afraid we lost our touch. Wait till you see what you do with color though. Its wonderful. We mostly admire it..

Boy in the still pond
He looks at me with those eyes
And knows… we are alone

I had that nightmare again... I remember your eyes
That choice I was forced to make who lives... who dies

Never forgive me, gentle stranger... for what you endured
Taking the fall, so that all life that night was secured

The fate I forced and will always regret
my karma chasing me in dreams I can't forget

That look you gave me shook me to the bone
Those eyes of pity for whom I could never atone
I was once in a terrible position at work, police on the line and decisions to make. I could ***** at the grave choices I was forced to take. It's clear in story's but muddy in strife. Was it worth hurting the innocent to save an evil man's life...
Why couldn't you just hate me... im so sorry, im really really sorry. I wish you hated me. It makes it so much worse... knowing how kind you were.

I still feel sick

Theres a place at the edge of the sea
Drawing you in while your woes flee

The people are warm and gentle as tea
Where drifters are welcome, yet leave you be

And smiling bright a mayor… or maybe three
I find the more the merrier in this family
So why not drift over, please come on down
Theres always a place for you here, our Kove Town.

Oh thirsty boy…
Thrown himself in the well
Learned how to drink
Until his belly would swell

Oh thirsty boy…
At the the bottom he stands
greedy for more
Scarring his hands

Oh thirsty boy…
Does not try to climb
Rather dig through the mud
Seeking water in the grime
Oh thirsty man…
He knows where he’s been
He’s still there now
To far down this hole of sin…

“Why… Oh. Why was there no grates, no walls, no barrier to entry. Seek and you shall find, so why has no one shut the doors…. I look up defeated, my hands to bruised to climb.”

Power of the tongue
Do not tread lightly, for We
Can speak life or death
Disgust clouds my mind, but I must restrain my putrid tongue. I have fallen, perhaps I remain grounded for cursing myself.
