There's a fire burning deep within me.
Years of pain masked with a smile.
With this adrenaline, I could run 10 miles.
Anger and fear burried deep.
With these resentments, I silently weep.
Please God, take it away.
So, I can live to see another day.
I want to cry these tears forever.
I fear I may drown in this dangerous river.
Without a life-jacket, I swim to shore.
Not sure if I can take anymore.
The chaos is too much to bear.
Is this another letter to wear?
With this scarlette letter, I walk among the crowd.
The deafening silence is...

Dear God, do you know where I've been?
I've been living life in pure, unadulterated sin.
And I'm caught in the grip, can't seem to get free.
Dear God, will you please liberate me?

Doing demeaning things for another hit.
Caught in the grip, just don't give a shit.
But still I cry as I fire up again.
Dear God, will it ever end?

I hit my knees daily, and Lord it's not to pray.
Livin' this life, don't wanna see another day.
Walkin' the street, hustlin' some cash.
Lord, I just need another blast!

Do you know what it's like, livin' this...
