Why Good People Suffer

Stavesacre

I tell you what I want to
never more than what is safe
I show you what I want to
and the rest I hide away
sometimes I can feel myself leaning
towards the basest of things
am I just a liar? or a killer? or a beast?

should I sit in judgement?
do I have to judge me?

(chorus)
I couldn't tell you why good people suffer
I couldn't tell you why the bad ones run free
God showers blessings
on the righteous and the wicked
I only know that that covers me

do I feel like screaming
when the weak fall to the strong?
would I trade my freedom for a cheap thrill?
right for wrong?
and if I could just rid the world of all the evil within
would that include me?
I guess that would depend

who am i?
