Dead-End Alley

Treated like a clock-work-toy without a soul
Or a spark of the right to exist
Cherished like the sunrise
Punished like a hound dog
You don’t have to play innocent
All of your kind took my peace from me
And let me drown in my morass of hate
But it is not my fault, that I answer in anger
When you say there is no choice

Spare me from your truth
And shield me from the way of the world
Oh, it seems, I deserve this fate
If life is all about the path that you forced me to go
I will bear all burdens of my choice
Born into this world and convicted from the start,
For ill deeds, that I’ve never done
Tossed into the clockwork,
Torn up by the gear-wheels
You forgot to leave a way out

I’ve never intended to treat you as cruelly
As you try to chain me this way
What is it, I have done, that the world ejected me?
Revenge for an asserted sin?
Spare me from your truth
And shield me from the way of the world
Oh, it seems, I deserve this fate
If life is all about the path that you forced me to go
I will bear all burdens of my choice

Ungrateful and insolent
Spit on me, as long as you can
Glances terrify my mind,
Drag me to the edge of dispair
Spare me from your truth
And shield me from the way of the world
Oh, it seems, I deserve this fate
If life is all about the path that you forced me to go
I will bear all burdens of my choice
