No One Left To Hurt (but myself)
This is a song I started writing on friday and finished tonight. Considering my track record, this tis the fastest I've ever written a song in my life's history. It's a really emotional one for me too. Thanks for listening. Here it is:
"No One Left To Hurt (but myself)"
V1:
I wish there was a place
Lined with padded walls
With hidden spikes underneath
Where no one could hear my calls
A place where I'd be trapped
Forever more to dwell
Those I love could stay in heaven
I'd be left here in my hell
Ch:
There's no one left to hurt
(No one but myself)
I heaped my pain on all the world
(With what strength I had left)
I try to wipe the blood off my shirt
(But darkness blinds my eyes)
I hate this broken human shell
(Leave me here to die)
V2:
Alone in my self-pity
I've done my part in life
To poison those around me
And touch them with my knife
I don't deserve to feel the sun
To see the light of day
Lock my prison and throw the key
The world has become my prey
Ch.
Brg:
If nothing can change anything I've done
Why forgive me? Why not just run?
I've tried to understand
But I don't think I ever will

I like the song. You said that it was really emotional for you and I can see your openness. What were your primary thoughts of motivation?
This was written in responce to a lifetime of weakness. Knowing the effect we humans have on others, I sometimes wish I could be in a place where I couldn't hurt anyone, or lead them astray.
I can be so cruel sometimes. Despite all of this, God put me here on earth, and it wasn't an accident. I sometimes wonder why.
That's it. :)
