Analysis of GIVE ME COMPASSION



I CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN MY SUFFERING BROTHER
FROM THE WAY YOU LOOK... GOODBYE LIFE ...I CAN'T GO ON ANY FURTHER
SEVERAL CRYING TATTOOS ON YOUR SUNBURNED SKIN
YOUR SURROUNDINGS SEEMED EVER SO MISERABLE.. NOTHING LEFT TO GRIN

PUSHING A CART WITH YOUR WORTHLESS BELONGINGS
MY LIFE IS NOT WORTH A DOLLAR... MONEY FOR NOTHING
WAKE UP TO THE FILTHY SMELL OF SIDEWALKS ...EVERY SINGLE MORNING
MY GID DO I DESERVE THIS AGONY... SO IT'S YOU I'M CURSING

I FEEL LIKE GOING HOME TO THE PAST..A STARK BLEAK PATH TO NOWHERE
ALL THAT WERE PRECIOUS AND DEAR TO ME...ONE BY ONE FADED TO AN ACCEPTABLE NIGHTMARE
FOR YEARS HOPELESSLY DROWNING IN THE OBLIVION OF DRUGS..A CHAOTIC SCARE
TO GO ON WITH THIS HOPELESS TRAIL OF THESE EVIL MISERY...ALL THAT'S LEFT A BLAN STARE... SHADOW OF GREY PHANTOM WEBB
