Home-Away From Pain
/Put a chain around my neck, for this life I no longer beg.
Sign of my death like a check, for this life has me by the leg.
Drop me ocean deep,
And do not weep, do not weep,
It's my death,
I knew it would come like my birth on earth.
Caskets are for those who die in peace,
But not for those who's pain never cease.
Funerals are for those who lived in hope,
But not for those who die by the rope.
Although I had the brains,
I couldn't bust my own chains.
Don't you please say a prayer,
A good travel is wished only for the bearer.
I wish I had time to say goodbye,
But I have been way due for departure.
There's been none on my tears from the eye,
But my death is not premature.
Don't you dare even try,
Don't you even cry,
It's just a lie,
My life is bad, oh most high.
I've been wounded more than a soldier,
And my soul now rests in jar.
I've come so close from far,
But this is who we are.
Every breath I take the rope becomes tighter,
And my fate of life wonders lighter,
The future that once seemed brighter,
Is hanging on a tree with one foot on the rock like a fighter.
If I twist, I turn myself to no more,
And I will be no more.
I'll be right there with you John,
I'll be right there with you Abraham.
But is heaven for those who chose to rob their own lives,
Is heaven for those who die by choice,
And is hell meant for these who so no blessing in hives,
And will their eternity be the screaming voice.
Mercy have my Jaws,
As I bite my thoughts,
I am all yours,
As I bite my thoughts.
Will God forgive those who failed to see hope in the light, because they were born in the dark.
Will God forgive those who were bright, and chose not to climb the ark.
Throw my body to the sharks,
And let their teeth be barred in my heart,
And all my wildness will be like sparks,
And then I'll be certain that I did depart.
Carry me home,
Home were I am a slave to depression,
Carry me home,
Where I am married to oppression.
