Suffering
Suffering... I'm suffering...
When will this nightmare end, a landscape that is littered with the bones of the past
Will it be enough, that you’ve stolen from me and now you want to shatter my dreams
A thousand times you’ve raped me, denied me
Tried to crush me underfoot, and label me to be weak
Scarred me like a horrid surgery that went awry
And left me on the tree, to die, to rot and for all to see
Broken hearted, you’ve crucified me, impaled me and yet you’ve tried to pillage
The very soul that is pledge to bleed for you and die for you
When will it be enough?
If my nights were so peaceful, I dread to wake
If I could die now, I would
Just to escape you, because you sicken me and I hate you like a filthy whore
You’ve cheated me, caused me pain more than I ever knew it to be
Now you tell me to go quietly into that good night having stole my innocence a thousand times
Is that enough for you?
You’ve torn my heart, torched my spirit and tried to break into my mind
And yet, amidst my suffering, you can’t seem to take my will
So you try to take my body again and again
Push me to the limit, trying to motivate me, when you’ve taken my very breath
And left me to drown in the air I breathe as a fish out of water
When will you stop this madness?
Will you keep denying me what is mine?
You’ve scourged me, beaten me and all but put the crown of thorns on my head
And the nails in my hands and feet after I’ve staggered to my own Calvary
You dare not pierce my side nor break my legs, because I’ll remain defiant
So a thousand times, you’ve disemboweled my hopes
Beheaded my desires
Made impotent my conscious drive
When is it enough?
Can it be enough?
Why isn’t it enough for you?
And yet the demand to fight keeps going on
How can I keep going on in the moment?
Spare me the grave and send me to hell, for it is better than this, what you’ve done to me
You’ve stripped me of my dignity
Dazzled me of my free will
Raped me and took my courage
But you’ve given me to will to endure
And so I will amidst the suffering
Because I can die, and I will
But not before I return all that you’ve done a thousand times
But not before I can say you’ve suffered enough
