As I Lay Crying
As I Lay Crying,
the Trail of Tears has begun,
and soon I will drown in them.
murder myself on quitter’s lane.

the Rains have begun,
and the water holds death,
and the water brings life.
soon We’ll be the ones
getting laughed at,
as the water pours down,
and the Soft Rains begin again.

For it is so much easier to submit,
to fall, to cry, to beg forgiveness,
and then grant it yourself.
Submit to the pain, become part of it.
Live with it and for it and by it.

For the pain feels so good,
and soon Nothing else Matters,
and soon everyone will see.
Of course, you caN’t hide forever,
and the devil always gets what’s been offered.

Submit, you fools.
areN’t you fully aware of the complications
that arise from your own actions?
Submit, and then the End will come,
quick and painless and followed by tears.
Submit, and so you shall rest,
as the rest lay weeping.

and soon even the Mocking Bird
falls from the sky,
drowning in the tears of the Earth.
