I tell you, baby
I tell you what you want believe
I ask you, baby, to take that door and leave
I tell you, baby, about my thoughts last night
I tell you, baby, about the night I cried
I ask you, mother
would you cover my need
I ask you, mama, would you give me back that sheet
I gotta write down what I want to say
I gotta nail it down what is there on my mind to stay
I ask you, father
would you give me the lead
I ask you, father, would you help me please
I ask you, father, could you show me the way
out of your door, out of your home, out of my whispering state
I ask you, brother
would you lend me that knife
I ask you, brother, would you lend me that knife
I gotta cut through my veins
I gotta cut through my veins
I gotta make it bleed
I gotta make them bleed
I ask you, please
