Forced To Sing Lyrics

Some people ask me why I can't read writing on the wall

I answer in a sentence that just runs on down the hall

Tension breathes then breaks me when I answer any call

While others still accuse me of never feeling things at all

Surrounding all the poison that keeps floating through my mind

Is a drunken swollen evening, foggy, frozen and misaligned

And a Christmas truck stop parking lot where the waitress did me kind

Then senselessly accused me of being seven years behind

They can intersect my feelings with their roads to trite success

And tell me that the best I've ever been was not the best

Then force me down a mine shaft to extract a treasure chest

Full of sinful recollections, lust, and wanton uselessness

There's nothing to this poem, this song it doesn't mean a thing

When I shut the door, I'm nothing more than a bird with a broken wing

Confusion breaks, takes the cake and the gifts it was supposed to bring

If you don't admit you heard it, I won't admit that I was finally forced to sing
