Disaffected

The doctors shake their heads, they chain around the bed
They’re looking for a reason to why I’m still not dead
The medicine’s not working, I haven’t slept for days
The light is shone right through me, the skeleton is weighed

Incurable, I’m helpless - the mind and body weak
I have so much to tell you but I can’t seem to speak
Incurable, I’m lonely, the city empties out
I live inside the shadow, the shadow of a doubt

The cannons fire across me, I cannot make the trial,
The seasons crash around me, the bones are in denial,
My temper is a tower, the church will not provide,
You close the drawer upon me, I am unclassified

The romance of the season is wasted on the weak
I stayed in bed through snowfall, I tried to get some sleep
Invisible, I’m broken, the spirit has moved out
Words that were unspoken, I cannot live without

A strange light beckons me this way
A strange life beckons me this way
