Tell Me

Come to me with voices bitter
Would you ever reconcider
Take this silence as my plea
Soundless cry of endless need

Say it wasn't meant for me
Speak words of liberation set me free
All I've done is to please you
All I sacrificed to appease you
Tell me what was it worth
To have you throw me in the dirt

So tell me angry gods of my world
What do you say
Release the door beneath my feet
Or allow the rope to fray

Tighten the noose around my neck
Choke me when I try to protect
The last few things that I hold near
Tell me you'll forgive me dear
I was taught you were to fear

And if I lose you there's nothing left
Stay with me on my hopeless quest
Soon I'll be gone fading into the smoke
Now only tension on the rope
