Crawl On...

I’ve lied for pleasure, I lied for pain

I lied for my amusement, to be mildly entertained 

I’ve lied to cover up the lies I made

All the while lying next to you

While lying that you were safe 

Though the darkness be upon me

 may the darkness never own me 

Through trial or gale or storm or tempest come 

May my past shine lights of warning 

Through the pitfalls laid before me 

Though the path be frail and thorny 

I’ll crawl on 

Maybe I’ve been a wanderer 

Because I’m too afraid to wonder 

for a moment what it feels like to feel sane 

so I’ve fed my fleshly hunger 

and bet on over-unders 

guessing the day I’ll die and in what way 

I crawl on 

Until your flower bed is satisfied 

with my sour flesh and swallowed lies 

and I float on toward fire or kingdom come 

Shed never once a tear for me 

but thank God for the misery 

My long overdue passing spared you from 

and crawl on 

Crawl on
