Analysis of Kill me
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
This worthless soul
Watch him spin his wheels
The mind races
His mind races
Wanders past acres and acres of dry land
He's alone, lonely, dying
He's like an icicle of death falling to the ground
Kicked by a child
Cracked on the pavement
Daddy where are you? Mommy where did you go?
I can't survive this life on my own
I'm going to die, my friends
Please have mercy on me God. Because this is making less and less sense by the minute.
No one is here. No one is coming to my aid. No one cares enough.
God help me please. I'm on my knees at your Cross. Please tell me you're real. Please show me you're alive.
