Black Minded

Black minded
Still short sighted
trying to screw over
not just anyone
but me

I've spent so long
feeling this low
playing a game
I never wanted to start
but I have no choice now

Everyone else knows
I'm not sure how
watching with eagle eyes
There are three in this tango
All at your request

I used to be apathetic
but this is beyond pathetic
I've given all I can
I've sold this story too many times
just to let go now

I can't sleep
Yet I can't bare to wake up
in the morning
still mourning
still yearning for this to stop

Let the Lord know I've given
all I can to this world
Lord, I have strived to be good
You have forgiven me when I have failed
Why won't you protect me now?
