(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Armand & S. Brown)

One day in your life you’ll understand,
You’ll know why I railed, rowed and raged,
You’ll see that my temper got out of hand.

One day in your life you’ll take me back,
You’ll open the door that was slammed,
You’ll begin to miss the love that you lack.

Why didn’t he stay?
I needed to feel his embrace,
In a home; a safe place,
But he left with his friends,
The subtle hint of hurt descends,
Just to hold him in my arms,
To feel happy and safe from harm,
Why didn’t he stay?

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Michael Jackson)

Numb the pain,
Take the feeling away,
I can’t suffer anymore,
Give me morphine.

Shut it out,
Take the pain and hurt down,
I can’t take it anymore,
Give me morphine.

Still my heart,
Cool the red hot fires,
Let me not breathe anymore,
Give me morphine.

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Michael Jackson)

Those voices inside my mind still talk,
They say the things I try not to believe,
But it’s harder to fight them off,
I no longer have the power,
The bottle, the needle, the powder,
So they never leave me alone,
Invade my safety,
And chill me - thin to the bone.

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley)

Spent too long there,
Felt trapped,
Busted out and broke free,
Became me,
Who I wanted to be,
Couldn’t stay in the closet,
Making further little deposits,
Into the lie factory.

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis)

They say some of the things I do are bad,
Evil, vile and cruel,
It’s just my way,
My life to live my way,
It’s only natural for me,
My human nature,
My truth.

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Jackson and Bottrell)

I need you to give in to me sometimes,
I need to win the day from time to time,
I can’t always be wrong,
It’s the same old argument,
Same old song.

I need you to give in to me sometimes,
I need to win the day from time to time,
I can’t always pretend,
I just can’t see this one through,
Just can’t mend.
