Lyrics
Desperation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In my desperation, i'll take anything from you
'cause what i am is what i need and there is nothing i can do
I'm a slave to your frustration and i'm working for this pain
But in the end i'm nothing and it doesn't mean a goddamn thing
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to be like you
I don't need what i don't miss
This is what i've got to do
Well, i don't want to be here, but i just don't have a choice
And i'd like to say a prayer, but i cannot find my voice
Well, i feel i've lived a lifetime and i guess it's just as well
'cause the life that i've been given is like living in an empty shell
Well, i'm just in denial of the things i cannot do
But everything that i can't have is all because of you
I don't need a guilty conscience, i don't need to be a star
All i need is some redemption, but that just won't get me very far
