Same Song

A bastard at conception ring
takes the place a mistake
A love that is cherished
so surface and purposely fake
Ashamed and afraid the child
grows in shadows alone
Nothing or no one to hold onto
or call his own he runs away
You keep on singing the same song
You tell me that I'm to blame
I'll keep on singing the same song
over and over again
Slipping through the cracks
of the system
slithering like a snake
Struggling to survive
scraping everything he can
just to eat
Screaming now ceiling is peeling
I feel for my faith
Trapped in my body these demons
destruct and escape
Burning with pleasure this flesh
is so withered and raped
I feel so tired
desire has made me less
Can I be whole again?
You keep on singing the same song
You tell me that I'm to blame
I'll keep on singing the same song
over and over again
When all the pieces fall
Who do I turn to now?
The light is closing in
Have to re-begin
Well it's almost over now
All this pain that I've allowed
to nest inside my soul
Let it go...
You keep on singing the same song
You tell me that I'm to blame
I'll keep on singing the same song
over and over again
