Thank you.

"Sleep life away,"
The demons say
Who lurk inside one's head.
"In just a flash
You turn to ash
To dust, and then you're dead.
Why's the goal
To save a soul
That dies along with you?
You know this mess
Is purposeless;
At birth your life is through.
Don't give a damn
Don't try and care
No one loves you anywhere
Nothing you do can change your fate"
So at the door you stand and wait,
Wishing you were not alone,
Wishing you could scream, could moan
Could live your life!
And yet you stay unmoved.

Well, step out, my darling
Step out, my love
Step out, my chickadee
My silly turtledove
Step out, we'll walk awhile
We'll chat beneath the moon
We'll laugh, we'll sigh, and by the by
You'll sing a different tune.

Step out, you know there's time,
We've got a world to see!
Step out, into my arms
And let life simply be
Don't worry bout that ole black man
With his pointy stick of dread
We'll step out with him, but in due time
For now, don't look ahead
For now, don't watch your step

Out.
Fresh out, in fact
We've done run out of care!
Ain't gettin no more shipments in til, well,
Don't wait up, heh heh
Ain't nothing to wait for
But the day you die.

Told you not to go walking barefoot
Told you you'd get yourself hurt bad
Bad, bad boy
You ain't gonna be awalkin' round here no more
Told you not to step out that door

If a boy can't walk,
Does he stay in bed?
Lock the doors
Close his head
So none of them there folks can help him out?

We got ourselves a shut-in!
A sit-at-home mother
Fucker of a fool
He got his feet broken
Now he ain't steppin' out
He's stayin' in
For good
For better
But worse

Do you know what it's like to stay in bed?
To hide your head in dreams?
Do you know what it's like to think
"The world's no place for crippled kids?"
If it ain't broke
It might deserve to live.

Step outta that house, son
You got a life to give!

Stay at home, stay in bed
Rest your worried, dumbass head
Ain't no reason to get up today.

Can I go out to play?
They need another man.
Well, a good man's hard to find.
Oh.
Ain't no good men round here,
Just relics and regrets.

Step out, love
Play that game
It doesn't matter if you're no good
It ain't about the prize.
The play's the thing
That makes the pain worthwhile

Can't step
Out of sole
De feet
They ain't no good

Well, darlin', all you gotta do is drop a hint
I'll pick it up
Pick you up
And help you walk away
Help you limp into a world that needs your love
And hey, you limp awhile
Perhaps you'll learn to fly
I ain't no wings,
But an arm ain't so bad either.

I want to fly.
To soar, above the trees
So all the you's and me's
Become an us
A life for us t' love.

But I don't mind walking
Til I get my wings.
I don't think I can walk alone,
But give me a shoulder
And I'll share my soul.
Then we'll step out.

We'll step out until I fall
And I will fall.
Drop, in a reign of tears.

But then
Please,
Pick me up
Dust me off
And help me step out

Like you have so many times,
You beautiful umbrella
You courageous crutch
You God-send of a friend
Every one of you

And though I cannot find a way
Though my words can't seem to say
The meaning of my mind
Believe my love
And know I dearly

Thank you.
