Like A Turtle

[averagejoe]

Not part of a group

Not part of a gang

Don't have a girlfriend

Even though I begged and sang

God didn't hear my call

He just gave me another obstacle and a wall

The wall followed the road to salvation

Like a turtle I'd hide in my shell

Inviting hate and hell

The dark felt so much more cool

I could have stood up for myself and use my voice

Too much a fool

Too tempted

I ate the apple

And left god and the chapel

I will always be my own martyr

My own enemy

My own Judas

Embrace me and my evil

I will always look for the right

And the retrieval

-Of the old me

Hey

I liked the way this started off, but it the line "He just gave me another obstacle and a wall" threw me. It's the rhythm.

Also...

I will always look for the right

And the retrieval

-Of the old me

Isn't very clear. It doesn't make much sense to me.

Hope this helps

Cheers
