jeff greer: tunes

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

i don’t get to choose
what i do and do not do
someone else decides it for me

i don’t get to be
child running free
i’m just here for someone to whore me

i don’t get to laugh
and play and have fun
i exist for the pleasure of others

i can’t even cry
my eyes are just too dry
emotion is seared and smothered

I have no voice to say i’m hurting
I have no tongue to say i need
I have no life that’s mine to live
I need your voice to set me free

i’ve never known hope
i’ve never known love
and faith i haven’t much

i wish that i could see
just what real love could be
and not be afraid of its touch

sold fourteen times today
just a number, got no name
here i sit and wait for the next one...

i shiver and I shake
as i lie awake
and dream of (wish for) a life of my own

look into my eyes,
look into my eyes
look into my soul,
look into my heart
it’s broken all apart,
it’s broken all apart
please, please don’t ignore,
the broken pieces of my heart

i kneel and i pray
‘could there ever be a way
to get me out, out,
out of this hell’ ?
