The Savoir

Yesterday you tried to save me.

With your words you try to raise me.
Save me from myself and all I’m in.
 
Today you told me that you’d make me.
But all you can do is sit and break me.
Everything you hate is all I am.

If no harm is done, then what’s the problem?

With what I choose to be?
Am I to be damned for being me?

Can’t you see?

I don’t need you to save me!
I’m not falling.
So don’t try and Push Me!
My life’s fine, just the way it is.
So don’t try to save me!

You sit in your self-righteous indignation,

Can’t you see you’re hurting me?
By damning me into your hell

If I’m this evil monster

Surely I’d face the wrongs myself.
Wouldn’t I have been punished by now?

Is this what you call salvation?

Tearing all these lives apart?
Have you forgotten judge not lest ye be judged?

Can’t you see?

I don’t need you to save me!
I’m not falling.
So don’t try and Push Me!
My life’s fine, just the way it is.
So don’t try to save me!

You said you were the hand of God.

Yet from your sacred mouth
I hear only the devils words.

Call yourself a man of peace?

Shepard to a guilty flock?
Savour for the heathen minds.

We sit and wait for your bread of life,

But all you do is
Starve us of all our rights.

Can’t you see?
I don’t need you to save me!
I’m not falling.
So don’t try and Push Me!
My life’s fine, just the way it is.
So don’t try to rape me!

Yesterday you tried to save me.

With your words you try to raise me.
Save me from myself and all I’m in.

Today you told me that you’d make me.

But all you can do is sit and break me.
Everything you hate is all I am.

If I’m dammed to hell,

I’ll meet you there,

Or have you forgotten,
How to truly care?
