Beyond Human Aid
God please tell me what to do
Show me the right choice
I’m lost and lonely, running scared
And I can’t hear your voice.
I pray each day for guidance
And say “Thy will be done”
I’m trying to wait with patience
For the answers I seek to come.
But so far I can’t hear them
The screaming drowns it out
The devils whispering in my ear
And he’s using all his clout.
He keeps telling me its okay
To do it one more time
That this time it is different,
It will be just fine
But it’s never just one time
It’s every single day
I keep telling myself tomorrow
I will find another way.
But tomorrow never comes
And it all begins again
The guilt and shame and lies
That never seem to end.
Why do I let myself fall down
Let insanity win once more
When I know exactly where it takes me
Straight to deaths front door.
My life becomes a living hell
I just want to give up and die
But I couldn’t do that to my kids
Although more than once I tried.
They might be better off without me
Should I just stay away?
I’m no good for anyone
When I’m living life this way.
I’m diagnosed beyond human aid
And nothing’s worked so far
I keep trying and each time I fail
So off I go once more.
