Hat, fear, and hell
Negativity dominates well
Why am I so pissed off
Look at how self-centered I am
But behind a face of evil
underneath the cover of dorky charades
Between the shields of personality
Inside the walls of artificiality
Stands a man
Alone, Naked, and Cold
I almost wanna blame God
But only almost
If I would only learn to release my pain
If I could only shed my barriers
Than maybe I could live again
Your here and gone at the same time
I guess this is the heart of the matter
I'm worried sick about you
your condition is questionable
I hope you wake up
I'm afraid you'll be a vegetable
There's nothing poetic about this
it's only to express my pain
And say how much I'm missing you
Dear God, send the gentle rain,
And please let Maggie make it through
