What Headaches Produce
Your Philosophy, Not Mine
(Sequestered Bastard Child)

The whole world filled
With suckers looking for something to follow
Here I am at your doorstep
Basket-baby rejected
By ones who could not raise
Who would not rear me

Let me stray into your philosophy
Pleading now, tell me
What's wrong, what's right
Why do I bear such shame
In this helpless plight?

But you take me in
Your odd duckling who follows
Deep into night
Sure I belong to help
Carry on your fight

The whole world full
Of suckers like me
Who live by your rules
Sometimes recanted philosophy
Doesn't fit everyone
But especially a loner like I
Who would dare at your table
Ask questions, looking in your eye
I've been alone
Always alone in your sequestering room
Divided but what you believe
And what I think is right

The walls come down soon
In the dead of night
But it will be you who
Lays down, won't fight
Because you're sick of your creation
Who fears you will fright

Am I real if I pale from guilt
The imposed shame I carry
Because I'm a sucker,
Your bastard child alone
In the sequestering room, divided?
