Agony

I want to know if you will risk I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool For your love, for your fucking dreams Motherfucker I want to know if you've touched the centre of your own sorrow If you've been opened by life's betrayals Or have become shrivelled and closed from fear Of further pain, I want to know if you can sit with pain Mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it Can you be with joy mine or your own? And let the ecstasy fill you and toes without cautioning us To remember the limitations of being human And each of us will have to go through the agony And each of us will have to go through the agony It doesn't matter if the story you are telling me is true I want to know if you can disappoint another If you can bear the accusation of betrayal And not betray your own soul, man Wanna know what you ache for I want to know what you live for And if you will risk looking like a fool For your love, for your fucking dream For the adventure of being alive And each of us will have to go through the agony And each of us will have to go through the agony Looking like a fool for your love, for your fucking dream And each of us will have to go through the agony And each of us will have to go through the agony It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me And not shrink back Oh I wanna know what you ache for, ache for I wanna know if you touch the dark I want to know if you will stand with me in the centre of the fire And not shrink back Each of us will go through the agony Each of us will go through the pain, through the fucking agony Each of us will go through the pain, through the fucking agony Hell in us, oh
