 Twisted and wrong losing nothing but time

I just say what’s to be said – lay it all on the line

Journey’s long to the feet but too fast for the mind

I can’t get very far before another burden I find

Wonder to discover how it grew to a field

By people in need being attacked with no shield

But I will turn and walk further on

Let them now discover what has took me this long

I am no Messaih, I am not sent here to save

I used all of my kindness in my much younger days

Lift your heads to see what I could not before

You are the only one who you should be looking out for

I loved so openly and yet loved so very wrong

My sadness became madness before too long

The desert and sun has now baked into my skin

Dimished the passion that almost did me in

Now I am empty leacing no emotions to break

Saving no one any longer, I must leave it to fate.
