Black Books

Here i read and watch "the hours" and let the darkness come
A living must be made
"for he shall prosper everyone"
But the voice upon the phone laughs
Tells me to "have fun"
And it's fun, yes, it's fun
Making war upon someone

They'll write this in the book of life above, i know
"capable of such great heights, such great lows"

I can't go on
I was born to write love songs
But the voice still on the phone says, "we become what we become
Give up
Just give in
Let them shape you as they wish
Don't scream!
Don't shout!
Be the lamb as it's led out"
