Anasarca - For Those Who Have Eyes lyrics

[based on "Those Who have Eyes to See Will See" by Willie Christopher Tucker] Eight months pregnant. Homeless crack addict from the south side of town. Angel All alone. Can't decide If to confide. Caught in a lifestyle for which she knows no relief. Day after day, Night after night, utterly impoverished surrounded by filth. Depressed, and wishing she were dead. Low self- esteem, only seventeen. Been molested, been raped, been beaten to the ground been molested, been raped, by the men that promised to keep her safe and sound. Low self- esteem, only seventeen. Forced to sell her body and tormented soul - Depressed, and wishing she were dead. Talking to her unborn child - no one else listens to what she says. "How long God must I suffer this way, Please don't force me to endure another day" Angel is pregnant - baby, one month due. I remember her say - those who have eyes to see Will see. In what she said I surmised That look on her face - with tears in her eyes. To escape her pain she decides life ain't worth livin'. Angel walks into the path of the Marta Train, The nine forty- five.
