breathing fear

So full of hope that he cant sit still
even in the presence of strangers.
Hes expecting his favourite guest,
the boy with easy virtues.
But when the boy arrives,
hes got a black eye
from the lads who plague us outside.
He laughs and calls for the world to die,
then hugs and kisses it better.
**Chorus**
Tell him why do you go to extremes
and how it must show.
****
Hes half-full of courage and he
stumbles to work,
where they **** * about their babies.
They ask him where he got his bruises.,
he mumbles excuses, he lies and lies.
He cannot allow them to finish him off.
Over-heated, overwrought .
He refuses to die like a saint,
half-believed and always deceived.
****
Chorus
****
Giving us grief for centuries now,
cant you ever rest?
Beaten, insulted, skewered and branded.
Isnt waking enough?
Youre breathing this fear just once a year,
we suffocate every day.
Hey ... youre breathing this fear just once a year,
we suffocate every day!
