Tormenting Locusts

Written by Crybaby

A warning is announced on the P.A. system through all the halls
in every school with a scorpion sting static sound.
The principle says, 'the stars are going out
and the stripes are getting bent, the red leaf is wilting
and there is nothing much left after that
Because the day is approaching when divine patience reaches the limits
And His winepress of anger is now rotating it's arm

A psychopath is following me down every street
around every corner that I walk, that I travel my foot on
No restraining order keeps him away from me;
and he doesn't let me be, he doesn't leave me alone
The big ugly shadows of this system is
lurking at my windows, tapping it’s branches at my pain
and waiting for me outside behind bushes in shrubs
I feel uneasy and I feel him walking behind me
his leather coat scrunches as he walks
It looks like he's been wearing it a long time
I hear him lighting a cigarette, I can smell him right behind me

I wrestle with my deficiencies
Why should I have Your approval
when I don't even try to conquer
the bad with the good

With little metal tweezers
I fight constantly all night
There is a thorn in my side
that I try to get out
I wish to do what is right
but there is a battle within me
a flesh that wants to tear through me
endurance breaks in cold sweats in the night

I fight up steam through the waters like a fish.
I try to find my strength but then I realize it's not in me
It’s been bleeding out
Help me out of my own whirlpool of deficiency
I cannot swim up stream like some say
I need to learn to walk on water
it's easy it's all in the faith you have
so where did I go wrong

More then likely that is why
a child will hold back information
For fear that he will see the wrath for his honesty
and ask for help when I am passing through dangerous feelings
