lyrics

It’s Me
By Amber Lee Baker

I see my mind through the broken glass
It won’t last, it’s colorfast
And fades away

I can’t seem to give all these hopes a chance
To manifest, with the half a glance
I give to them

The monkey climbs down from the tree
To laugh at my hypocrisy
The monkey climbs down from the tree
To laugh at me in mockery

The howling moon that fades away,
Then comes again, to gloat and grin
Reminds and shames….
I squeeze the puss from my open sores
And bleed some more, like a tired whore
Who lives a curse

Who rules the illusion, who issues the pain
Who opens the door, again and again
To the vampires and hounds, they chase me down
They call me names, I submit to their games,
Oh the tortured soul of reckless shame

It’s me…

I find a way to shut it up
This mental rut, I give it up
And see the joke…
The swirling circus of gossip and greed
Had taken me, but now I’m free
To live in peace...
