These are the chains I forged in my life- On my own time.
Aahh.
These are the sounds of grief and regret- Never forgetting.
Aahh. Aahh.
Now my chains are 30 feet long.
Now my chains are 40 feet long.
Now my chains are 50 feet.
These are the depths I've sunk from my weight-
Navigating my intake.
Aahh. Aahh.
You can find me 30 fathoms down.
You can find me 40 fathoms down.
You can find me 50 fathoms.
Watch me was I take this scarf from around my head.
Aahh.
These are the moments I misused- Precious and
Bruised, baby.
Aahh. Aahh.
With this link I denied you more than 3 times.
With this link I betrayed you with more than a kiss.
With this link I thee wed.
Hear me as I untie the scarf that retains my jaw.
Aahh.
These are the chains I forged in my life.
These are the chains I forged in my life.
These are the chains.In the distance
Hidden from sight - patiently
Waiting for me
Part of the night - enemy mine
This horizon
Darkness and light - opposites
Drawn together, one forever
Wrong and the right - enemy mine
Now is the time to decide......
Don't answer me with the same old questions
Don't patronise with those tired old solutions
I've heard these before, I've been here before
Don't pay me back with the same old deceptions
Don't give me facts
and predictable suggestions
I've heard these before, I've been here before
Then you're screaming all the time
You don't listen any more
When you threw out the hope
with the dustbin liners
You were standing alone
with your coat of kindness
Covered in mud - it was soaked in my blood
When you fed me to the lions
in your personal arena
And you watched till the cries
and the prayers grew weaker
Head in my hands - Dripping tears in the sand
The roar of the lions
As the victim lies damned and alone.......
When agony comes
more from hope than failure
Look further than
your preconceptions,
expectations
Where the power
of the mind can
take you out
beyond this reach
Higher than the dull
and simple world you
know so well
Back to paradise.......
Who keeps the child - Tell
me which is the mother?
The need in her eye,
and the eyes of the other
and I've seen this before,
I've been here before
Cut the child in half,
give a piece to each woman
A desparate chance,
the last hope has fallen
Just like before,
I've felt this before
And the gurgles of laughter
are
echoes once more in my
heart
So I lie down in my mothers arms
And I cry in my mothers arms, praying
Praying for the end to come.....
A friend to come and rescue me - right now
So I listen to my mother's voice
And I listen to the
Only choice she had to make
Living fear cold and naked
Throw me away? Don't thr
