Giving all you have to be with someone can cost your life. If it's worth it, you will fight, til what you are seeking becomes your own. Or not.
lyrics
Do you like my weekend, do you like my style
Maybe we can pretend, I didn't say what I said last night
And it feels kerosene is added to my one desire
I'll take my fantasies and sing them with this black guitar
Do you fight my pretense, do you fight my kind
I just want to be friends, til you can visualize my peace of mind
I know you work the franchise, you give the natural things an old refine
I'd work to build a mansion that you can live in til the day you die
And I'm banging on your door, and I'm banging from this prison
And I'm living on your floor, of unintentional derision
The test has always before, before undo-able collision
And I pray it's justified, to lose it all before I find
What I seek is what is mine
How did I get lost this time
It was all status quo til I saw what kind of music that you liked
Either way from here leads down
I've got all badly timed passionate will to design
Do you like my control, do you like my wires
Do you like my vengeance and my little jealous fits of fire
I'd give the grave my heartache, I've got enough to last this side of life
Your "get-to-heart's" the hardest
I'm just like every common man combined
And I'm banging on your door, and I'm banging from this prison
And I'm living on your floor, of unintentional derision
The test has always before, before undo-able collision
And I pray it's justified, to lose it all before I find
What I seek is what is mine
All I can do, is hold hope up to the truth
And pray to God I won't refuse, the rugged path that leads to you
All that I know, is it comes from down below
What the rust has overthrown, where the fear has overgrown
And I'm banging on your door, and I'm banging from this prison
And I'm living on your floor, of unintentional derision
The test has always before, before undo-able collision
And I pray it's justified, to lose it all before I find
What I seek is what is mine
