Some Other Life
This had to be some other life
This could not be all my strife
I understand the broken-hearted
The problem is that’s how I started
The pain creeps up like memories
But I swear they don’t belong to me
I promise you I didn’t do it
So why must I be doomed to go through it
How do I explain how I feel?
I think I’m crazy and it isn’t real
And no one else can collaborate
I have no past; I’m stuck with fate
Perhaps I’ll start with my collections
The painful unknown recollections
But I do it for myself
Because I know there’s no one else
Here in the dark I’m stripped and bare
I beg for a savior but no one is there
I think the devil must have found me
Because this sickness wants to drown me
Turn to Jesus; give him my fears
But someone must have covered his ears
Turn to the Earth; but she is silent
Where do I look when everything is quiet?
My explanation can go no further
I don’t know why it has to hurt her
I don’t know if I’m really crazy
Or maybe someone didn’t save me
So I’ll get up tomorrow morning
With another day before me
My cryptic dreams will be behind me
And hope the devil doesn’t find me
