Poor Man's Hymn

from Straitjackets by Etienne Carstens

/

lyrics

I know these thoughts are wrong
I wish I felt otherwise
to ignore this urge so strong
to tear my soul to the skies

can't stand mornings anymore
to recall is always the worst
to feel an existence so torn
day will come when I insist

just let me go
you'll never know
the empty life you're holding
a fitting end is calling

just let me go
you'll never know
the will it takes to stay
poor man's out is the way

I don't hate or blame or regret
it's not that it's anyone's fault
but my mistakes lay bare in wet
and I'm tired of staring at it

so calm I have never been
so near to smiling I can feel
and if you hate me in this serene
I will only say when I leave

just let me go
you'll never know
the empty life you're holding
a fitting end is calling

just let me go
you'll never know
the will it takes to stay
poor man's out is the way

just let me go
you'll never know
the empty life you're holding
a fitting end is calling

just let me go
you'll never know
the will it takes to stay
poor man's out is the way
