It grinds me til I'm in the ground,
Until the earth just pulls me in
And holds me in her calm...
Every action, every word, is such a chore to do..,
I strain to smile and wear my face as I'm expected to...
The days grow long and weary, though
It's far from winters height...
The sunshine doesn't shine so
And I wish it was the night...
Oh darkness come now, swallow me,
Take me from this place,
Lift me, let me fly again,
And feel the thrill of chase...
I don't know, I just can't win,
My world is so confused...
With hassle and with heartache,
I strive to write this muse,
Words from heart flow easily,
Words of pain do not,
But when both flow together,
It's the tears that tie the knot...
