The last few years

Were void of cheers

All my success

Was average, or less

But the joy of pain

Like a needle in vein

Kept me on board

A cheap sell out fraud

Cold comfort exchanged

For a night of disdain

To awake the next day

A heavy price to pay

As I brush my hair

With my fingers

and bear

The lashes of life

Cut deep like a knife

I’ll get up again

To Sir with Love

Said the Letter in my tray

It wasn’t for me

It was an Ode to Billie Joe,

I turned and left the building

On a dark and windy night

I wandered, lost and alone,

I saw a church full of people

I knelt at the back

And told God, I am a believer

I felt a spirit inside

Lighting my fire, with love and desire

It's three o'clock

Sorry for the typos, the grammar and the rhyme

I wasn't really feeling me, I haven't for some time

I don't know when it happened

It was many wounds ago

I'm feeling rather sad now

I think it's time to go

The world is full of kindness

For those that know to play

But the rules seem to allude me

I'd like to see them one day

But I can't wait for that

I'm a very bus...
