Shapeshifter from Songbirds 4 by Men and women in custody in NSW Correctional Centres

SHAPE SHIFTER By SIMON

E RIFF (OLIVER)
1. THERE IS NO POINT IN EVEN TRYING
WHEN ALL I WISH FOR IS A TIME FOR DYING
THERE IS NOT MUCH LEFT FOR ME
THE PAIN REMINDS ME THAT I ONCE WAS FREE
BEING WITHOUT ALL I LOVE AND CHERISH
MEANS THAT I SHALL MERELY PERISH
THIS FEELING OF IMPENDING DOOM
FIGHT OR FLIGHT SETS IN AGAIN SOON

A G F# F / A G F# E
CHORUS: SO BEWARE OF WISHES YOU WISH, YOU MAY REGRET IT
BEWARE OF PRAYERS YOU PRAY, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT

2. PANIC DESPAIR IT WILL NEVER CEASE
I YEARN FOR QUIET AND INNER PEACE
I WISH FOR DEATH, PRAY FOR AN ENDING
SHAPE SHIFTING AND LIGHT BENDING
GOD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL
THE EMPTINESS LEAVES ME LESS THAN WHOLE
MY LIFE IS ALL BUT OBLITERATION
I ONCE WAS A MAN OF THE LORD’S CREATION
CH:
SOLO
3.THE DAY IS AT ITS END ONCE MORE/ MY WEARY BODY CHILLED TO THE CORE
WALLS CLOSE IN AROUND ME/PARANOIA SETS IN
MY HEAD OF HAIR IS GETTING THIN
MY HEART IS SET TO SURELY BREAK/JUST TO SUVIVE THIS EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE
IS THIS A PREDETERMINED PATH/OR WILL ERUPT AND RELEASE MY WRATH
HOW MUCH OF THIS IS PURE FATE/WALLOWING IN SELF PITY AND CONSUMED WITH HATE
AS ONE DAY MERGES INTO ANOTHER
COUNTING OFF THE DAYS/MARKING OFF THE CALENDAR

4.THIS PLACE SEEMS TO TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING/ CAN’T SEEM TOO REMEMBER MUCH OF ANYTHING
STRIPPED OF PRIDE JUST LEFT WITH PAIN/ NO PEACE INSIDE JUST THE BURDEN OF STRAIN
I HOLD MY BREATH AS I WISH FOR DEATH/CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE END, THAT FINAL BREATH
GOD SAVE ME/I’M SCREAMING ARE YOU THERE?
JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING SO BEWARE
