Angered....

I’m angry from fear, like the dog in the cage
Fear of the dark, and the world thats insane
What if i can’t survive out there, alone
What if i find, in the morning on rising
I can’t pay the bills, and i live in the dark
And the morning stands still, and the sun doesn’t come
Just like one atom bomb
What if i feel like the bone, gnawed and frayed
To be played til i’m gone...
How else to live on?
I’d rather the world just deflate or explode
Than face one more gun that unloads
On  tv, in the street, in the school, in the home.
Its not jesus that saves, nor the devil who takes
But the minds and the souls of our favorite fakes
The ones we call friends and lovers and i
We can hide from the truth, we can follow the lies
But in hiding one hears the sound of one's voice,
And cannot hide from knowing the force of one's choice
