HELPLESS-by Chickenbone Slim-Copyright 2020
Helpless, helpless
helpless I see
oh pray for mercy
humble thy deeds
lower thy eyes
lower thy means
helpless, helpless I see
Hopeless, hopeless
hopeless I know
I come for your body
I come for your soul
I’m hidden and wanton
Best do as your told
hopeless, hopeless I know
I’ll darken the sky, I’ll darken your eye
cover up, won’t make it right
I’ll close up the blinds, I’ll reach in your mind
Won’t have a way to fight
Heartless, heartless
heartless I lie
I bear no compassion
won’t play that jive
I’ll scar you and bleed you
wipe you from my mind
heartless, heartless I’m alive
Hateful, Hateful
Hateful I am
Call me a demon
but I’m just a man
I play the angles
get all that I can
Hateful
Hateful Man
I’ll darken the sky, I’ll darken your eye
cover up, won’t make it right
I’ll close up the blinds
I’ll reach in your mind
there seems no way you can fight
Helpless, helpless
helpless remain
hide in the shadows
forget my name
If nothing is spoken
nothing will change
helpless, helpless remain
