The Grim Reaper
somedays I don’t want you near me
but today I’ll take flight
with a little blissful moment
and drinking late at night
it’s not always the happiness that saves us
sometimes it can be a killer
those moments won't take away my problems
at times they don’t seem so bad
though really it all builds up
then hits me like a hurricane
I wonder if other people feel this pain
maybe some, or all, or maybe it doesn’t matter
when my tears are always flowing internally
how can I express what little hope I have left?
the woman I love is my whole world
if it wasn't for her I’d be with the angels
or so I would hope
not sure if I earned the heavenly gates
though I did try my best
why does everything seem so heavy?
please God rip my skin off
then burn me in a nice bonfire
just maybe then I can feel a bit of peace
who am I kidding?
I don't have the strength to do it
too many people depend on me
and I promised I would keep fighting
so suffering is what I do
day in and out
hurting even though no one can see me
bleeding while faking a smile
but today I’ll take flight
with a little blissful moment
and drinking late at night
it’s not always the happiness that saves us
sometimes it can be a killer
those moments won't take away my problems
at times they don’t seem so bad
though really it all builds up
then hits me like a hurricane
I wonder if other people feel this pain
maybe some, or all, or maybe it doesn’t matter
when my tears are always flowing internally
how can I express what little hope I have left?
the woman I love is my whole world
if it wasn't for her I’d be with the angels
or so I would hope
not sure if I earned the heavenly gates
though I did try my best
why does everything seem so heavy?
please God rip my skin off
then burn me in a nice bonfire
just maybe then I can feel a bit of peace
who am I kidding?
I don't have the strength to do it
too many people depend on me
and I promised I would keep fighting
so suffering is what I do
day in and out
hurting even though no one can see me
bleeding while faking a smile
