Dawn delivers new day
But the nightmare still remains
If everything is new then
Why do i feel the same old pains
And where laughter once would echo
The silence is shattered by anguished cries
The tears are flooding my lungs
Every hopeful smile withers and dies
The pain flowing through my heart
Is heavy and sears into my chest
I can no longer tell what's normal
My entire world now seems possessed
It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok
Well I've had my fill
Of these bitter pills
And I can't sit still anymore
In this waiting room
Knowing that my doom
Lies like a tomb just beyond that door
It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok
the light of each new morning
saps the life out of my soul
I can't take more of this charade
As you live out the life you stole
But you blame me for your sorrow
Whisper my name like a curse
Seems like it should be better tomorrow
Cuz it can't get any worse
I'd love to solve all your problems
But I'm just not qualified
You say you can't help it
But you're at the bottom of mine
It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok
Well I've had my fill
Of these bitter pills
And I can't sit still anymore
In this waiting room
Knowing that my doom
Lies like a tomb just beyond that door
It hurts too much
Even your touch
Couldn't take this pain away
I feel so sick
I only wish
Things would somehow be ok
Well sometimes I feel like
This just can't be real life
How did things devolve into this
Nothing to hope for
I've lost count of the score
Must be something out there that I missed
So I can keep brushing this aside
It can't be real if I bury it deep inside
I'd talk it out but breathing makes me nauseous
It's so hard to smile when there's poison in your kiss
Well I've had my fill
Of these bitter pills
And I can't sit still anymore
In this waiting room
Knowing that my doom
Lies like a tomb just beyond that door

Dawn delivers new day
But the nightmare still remains
If everything is new then
Why do i feel the same old pains
And where laughter
Cause life is hard
Going down through these years I don't know why I got to try

these
by Amy Muhs
Feel So Down
I can't breathe, don't want to speak.
I'd rather dig deeper into my self loathing.
I don't know how to explain
"Checking the World"
And I found out the hardest way
It's a pain that will be difficult to be taken away
I'm going through
Life is Hard (3:05)
I know what you're goin' through
I've been there too
Cause life is, well, not easy an'
It's tough jus' dealin'
