The Writ

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?

(Get)
(Writ)

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 (writ, writ)
You are a 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, yeah
So tired of sadness and of misery, yeah

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, yeah
If it don't, I think I'll lose my mind, yeah

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, yeah
If it don't, I feel I'll blow my mind, yeah
