Lyrics
I don't want to be sad anymore
Don't want to find what's next
What terror waits behind the first
Locked door.
Don't want to wake in trepidation,
Foul words upon my mouth
Cursing Him for yet
Another day.
Don't want to sit upon my throne
A King of nothing
For a lifetime and a day
Alone.
Don't want to stumble anymore
Upon the words of others
Feel harm upon the breeze of
Their words.
And yet,
I want to live,
I want to marry pleasure
And sleep with pain,
Tread along the dangerous paths
And laugh as I look down.
I want to be,
To see,
To understand,
To take the hand
Of the Devil
And the Heart of God.
To wake in hope
Sleep in rest
Knowing that there is no test
To pass,
No mark to set,
No standard to achieve
As if our lives depended on it.
I want to find a point, a reason,
The answer that makes me want to keep
On breathing.
I want to be alive.
Don't want to feel the fear
Of the perpetual ringing
Of the telephone or the dropping
Of the mail.
Don't want the dizziness that comes
From standing up
Or the high that comes from lying down
At night.
Don't want to feel the anaesthetic of sleep
The dulling of the pain
The grateful loss of time
The ether of my mind.
Don't want to be remembered
For what I have not become
For my shattered dreams
For the tattered lives
That I dragged along
For the disturbance in the minds
Of those who drown in my genetic soup
Who cannot understand why they
Think the way they do.
on't want to blame some former life
For the mess that was my own,
Or watch any more the dissolution
Of the walls that held me safe
Beyond reproach, beyond touch,
Beyond the fire that battered at my home.
And yet,
I want to live,
I want to marry pleasure
And sleep with pain,
Tread along the dangerous paths
And laugh as I look down.
I want to be,
To see,
To understand,
To take the hand
Of the Devil
And the Heart of God.
To wake in hope
Sleep in rest
Knowing that there is no test
To pass,
No mark to set,
No standard to achieve
As if our lives depended on it.
I want to find a point, a reason,
The answer that makes me want to keep
On breathing.
I want to be alive.
Alive.
