A KILLER
ANOTHER DAY IM LOCKED INSIDETHEY MOVE ME AROUND THE STATE
DETERMINED TO CLEAR UP EVERY CRIME
MY PAST DECIDES MY FATE.
I LOOK FOR HELP FROM THOSE IVE HURT
THEY ARE SO AFRAID OF ME
I AM ALONE, THERES NO ONE THERE
IM DIFFERENT, WHY CANT YOU SEE
MY FUTURE IS BLEAK, IF FACED ALONE
I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS END
IVE HAD IT MY ENTIRE LIFE
NO RULES AM I ALLOWED TO BEND
ALL OF US WHO CAME TO EARTH
ARE SADDLED WITH A LOAD
BUT NO SICKNESS DO OTHERS TREAT
AS A CRACK IN THE ROAD
ADDICTION, AS WEAKNESS, ARE WHAT OTHERS SEE
'BE STRONG AND DONT GIVE IN'.
IF STROKE, IF SICKNESS, IF PARALYSED
ARENT TREATED LIKE A SIN.
I SEARCH FOR GOD, I LOOK INSIDE
I TRY TO FIND A WAY.
TO NOT HURT MYSELF AND IN TURN HURT OTHERS
SO IN THEIR LIFE I CAN STAY.
BUT EVEN WHEN I DO FIND THE LORD
OTHERS CANNOT SEE MY PATH.
THEY DO NOT KNOW THE TORMENT I FEEL
TO MYSELF I FEEL SUCH WRATH
THE EFFORT IVE PUT, THE WILLPOWER IVE SHOWN
THEY LOOK AT ME AS LESS
THEY DONT KNOW MY PATH, OR FEEL MY LOAD
MY DISEASE, ITS CAUSED SUCH A MESS
BUT JUST BECAUSE IM SADDLED ON EARTH
WITH A LOAD THAT IS HARD TO BEAR
IT DOES NOT MEAN I FEEL NO LOVE
OR FOR OTHERS I DO NOT CARE
NO THING THAT I DO, OR THOUGHT THAT I HAVE
CAN CURE THIS SICKNESS INSIDE
NO WILLPOWER ALONE, OR EFFORT I SHOW,
INSIDE ME ITS HERE FOR THE RIDE
SO I TURN TO GOD TO FIND A WAY
TO HELP ME LIVE WITH THE PAIN
ITS ONLY THRU HIM AND HIM ALONE
WILL KEEP ME FROM GOING INSANE.
SO IN YOUR LIFE, IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE, WHO SUFFERS
FROM A SICKNESS YOU CANT SEE
CHRIST, HE SAID TO ALL OF US
"AS YOU DO TO THEM, YOU DO TO ME"
SO I ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FROM ALL OF YOU
TO LOVE ME AGAIN I DO NEED.
I AM NOT EVIL, GOD DOES FORGIVE ME,
SO MUCH, ON A CROSS, HE DID BLEED.
