Tunnel's End

(album: Ten Foot Pole / Satanic Surfers - 1995)

Yeah I've heard that word before
But not from someone as close as you
I tried to stay clear of the hate that surrounds us
It hurts my ears

And I can't say you have no right
To feel that way, all burned up inside
But I can try to change your mind
Listen to me or should I say goodbye
To every thought I could carry around
Fear and resentment of your goddamned mouth

And you should see the face you wear
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
You're the same as the people around us
I feel your pain

And I can't see the end in sight
In the end of the tunnel I see the light
And I can try to help you find
The things you need, the ties that bind
Every time I hear that sound of that little sigh

That brings me down inside, I cry
'Cause I don't know why I can't make you happy
Yourself's a prisoner of life's injustice
All that baggage is slowing you down
Slowing you down

And I've heard that word before
But not from someone as close as you
I tried to stay clear of the hate that surrounds us
It hurts my ears

I can't say you have no right
To feel that way, all burned up inside
But I can try to change your mind
Listen to me or should I say goodbye
Every time I hear this sound of that little sigh

That brings me down inside, I cry
'Cause I don't know why I can't make you happy
Yourself's a prisoner of life's injustice
All that baggage is slowing you down
See at the tunnel's end
