God the sun is hot
it beats down on my face
I can't help but wonder if it's true
If I could live forever without you, live forever in doubt
I need to make my way to you without anyone's help
blistering feverish bouts with all of these deranged animals
I'm facing water it's too hot to make any sense
My blood begins to boil, to think I've lost it all for good
to think I gave myself to something I initially misunderstood
just one more fighting chance
I've simply got to make some progress
but it's all too late now, as I'm forced down to the ground.
I can't control or influence anything in or around me
so futile and worthless are all of my thoughts
I gave all I could to the man and so on
I'll live forever
feeling, it's fleeing, so faintly can I see your dim gray eyes
so littered with disgust
I know that you hate it
when I whisper in your ear, my dear
my tongue reeks of dishonesty and blatant attempts at chivalry
