The Writ

The way I feel is the way I am

I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you

Just to you

What kind of people do you think we are?

Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you

Just for you

The faithful image of another man

The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you

Yeah for you

The shock troopers laying down on the floor

I wish they’d fallen into my private war with you

Yeah with you

Are you metal, are you man?

You've changed a lot since you began

Yeah began

Ladies digging gold from you

Will they still dig now you're through?

Yeah you're through

You bought and sold me with your lying words

The voices in the dark that you never heard came through

Yeah came through

Your fallen phallic god dismembered and gone

A poisoned father with his poisonous son, that's you

Yeah that's you

I beg you, please don't let it get any worse

The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you

Yeah curse you

All of the promises that never came true

You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true

Ah, that's true

Are you Satan, are you man?

You've changed in life since it began

It began

Vultures sucking gold from you

Will they still suck now you're through?

(Cats, rats)

The search is on, so you just better run

And find yourself another way

Rob the dead, they don't feel a thing

Leave the living for another day

(Rats, rat)

You are nonentity, you have no destiny

You are a victim of a thing unknown

A mantle picture of a stolen soul

A fornication of your golden throne

A smiling face, it means the world to me

So tired of sadness and of misery

My life, it started some time ago

Where it will end, I don't know

I thought I was so good

I thought I was smart

I feel my world being torn apart

But everything is gonna work out fine

If it don't, I think I'll lose my mind

I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know

Listen to me while I sing this song

You might just think the words are wrong

Too many people advising me

But they don't know what my eyes see

But everything is gonna work out fine

If it don't, I feel I'll blow my mind, yeah
