The fear is low

In not knowing the way that events flow

But benevolence goes unrewarded

In a society that would rather see you rot than be saved

So care for one

Is the agenda

Difficult to follow

When grasping hands reach up from the mire

Showing intentions to be hollow

You cannot just ignore them

Mercy must play a part

Something about these open limbs

Reaches straight to your heart

And when your guard is down

You try to carry on

And this is when the other hands grab you

Hands defined as wrong



So tell me

How do I work to satisfy them?

Reaching out to me from every side

There is not much left inside me,

They blew my heart open wide.



Wheeling them away now

Severed and torn and destroyed

Benevolence went unrewarded

Once again, it seems

So what is it that makes my claims for

Satisfaction void?



So tell me

What do I do to satisfy them?

Reaching out to me night after night

The tap’s been on for hours now

My heart is Very light.



Oh lord, I did the best that I could do

Time and time again

It’s not my fault that I never get it right

So tell me, What do I do?

I know that my faith has depleted

But it was never enough

And it’s my belief in that everything you do is for a reason

That makes this justice

Very

Tough
