If you fail to give me love
Don’t think that I would die
I’d go the nearest grocery store
And a whole kilogram I would buy
If you fail to give me love
Don’t think that I would mind
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
Or any other I can find
If you fail to give me love
I won’t feel less of a man
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
Find the best deal that I can
If you fail to give me love
Leave me without a care
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
You can get everything in there
Do different hearts ache differently?
My heart aches! Oh boy it aches!
Like a poke of a hundred pins
Like a skin pierced by a lion’s claw
Like a stab from a sharp dagger
It aches! Yes it aches in many ways!
Like landing on your head from a fall
Like dislocating your knee
Like being crushed by a heavy stone
Yes it aches like that
Does your heart ache like mine?
Does it even ache?
Does it ache all the time?
How does your heart ache?
Life was charming, full of ease
Until my heart gave a lease
Made room for another human being
Though my mind was disagreeing
That person stayed but for a while
I lost my ability to smile
My young heart knows but one cure
To bring a new love through the door
Look outside your window
There’re spiders all around
Falling from the skies
All over the ground
Mommy Mommy wake up
Hide me please somewhere
What if they come inside
Crawl over my hair?
Mommy says — Hide! Quick!
Under the bed we go
She says that they’re not spiders
They’re …
An evil mind is full of thoughts
That tie his brain in sinful knots
And he sees the world as he himself is
Murky, vile and fiendish
There’s a ghost in my room
Who thinks he can’t be seen
Flickers the lights at night
Just to make a scene
There’s a ghost in my room
He slowly closes the door
When it makes a creaking sound
I hear him laugh and roar
There’s a ghost in my room
Who makes many hideous cries
I give him a lot of brownie points
Just for all the tries
I feel like speaking the truth someday
Tell him to stop his gag
But the poor guy seems lonely
So I let his drab show drag
My head is a puzzle
I can never fix
Pieces scattered everywhere
Full of dirty tricks
It knows all my secrets
It knows everything
What do I know about it?
Absolutely nothing!
Is there a single way
To take back my freedom?
Is there a single clue
To solve this conundrum?
Until I find an answer
I am forever stuck
Who is to be blamed for this?
Nobody but my luck
The night is cold and chilling
A monster lurks around
It wants to make a killing
Of anybody who’s found
Bolt your doors tightly
Don’t make a sound
Till the sun comes out brightly
Rays hit the ground
Hold on till then for life
From the unknown hound
Gather your kids and wife
Don’t make a sound
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A snake creeping inside of me
It could not be anything else
What else could it be?
I bit my father yesterday
Wounded my brother too
A snake! A snake! A snake!
That’s what it makes me do
They tied me up with ropes
They refuse to give me food
Oh the snake is hungry
Will it eat me up for good?
I’m hungry I am thirsty
But my family doesn’t care
A snake! A snake! A snake!
Listens to no prayer
Come a little closer brother
Mother please listen to me
Just a little sniff of blood
And I’ll sleep well you see
A snake! A snake! A snake!
It eats me from inside
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A demon by my side
Help me! I’m imprisoned
Imprisoned in my head
Help me find an escape
From this gruesome dread
For years I felt that I
Had power o’er my mind
Boy oh boy was I wrong
Fool of the highest kind
All I see is darkness
Enveloping me
No walls or ground or sky
Nothing I can see
Could anybody save me?
Family or friend?
I ask myself tonight
Will this torture ever end?
