The Writ

Lyrics

The way I feel is the way I am  
I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you  
Just to you  
  
What kind of people do you think we are?  
Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you  
Just for you  
  
The faithful image of another man  
The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you  
Yeah for you  
  
The shot troopers laying down on the floor  
I wish they'd put an end to my running war with you  
Yeah with you  
  
Are you metal, are you man?  
You've changed in life since you began  
Yeah began  
  
Ladies digging gold from you  
Will they still dig now you're through  
Yeah you're through  
  
You bought and sold me with your lying words  
The voices in the deck that you never heard came through  
Yeah came through  
  
Your folly finally got to spend with a gun  
A poisoned father who has poisoned his son, that's you  
Yeah that's you  
  
I beg you please don't let it get any worse  
The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you  
Yeah curse you  
  
All of the promises that never came true  
You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true  
Ah, that's true  
  
Are you Satan, are you man?  
You've changed in life since it began  
It began  
  
Vultures sucking gold from you  
Will they still suck now you're through  
  
(Cats, Rats)  
  
The search is on, so you just better run  
And find yourself another way  
Probably dead, they don't feel a thing  
To keep them living for another day  
  
(Rats, Rat)  
  
You are nonentity, you have no destiny  
You are a victim of a thing unknown  
A mantle picture of a stolen soul  
A fornication of your golden throne  
  
A smiling face, it means the world to me  
So tired of sadness and of misery  
  
My life it started some time ago  
Where it will end, I don't know  
I thought I was so good  
I thought I was fine  
I feel my world is out of time  
  
But everything is gonna work out fine  
If it don't I think I'll lose my mind  
  
I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know  
Listen to me while I sing this song  
You might just think the words are wrong  
Too many people advising me  
But they don't know what my eyes see  
  
But everything is gonna work out fine
