My feet hitting the floor, living pain free no more
I must pull myself together another day
I fall to my knee's and pray
Oh Lord, how much more can I take
The pain I feel is forever more, being overwhelmed
seems like just another chore to overcome
I sit down in a chair only to cry and hope there is a soul
around who will but my tears dry
As the day comes to an end, frightened and lonely am I
Afraid of what pain tomorrow will bring, crawling back into bed
Holding on only to a dream of what tomorrow will bring
Every day being overwhelmed with this pain
I could but spend my time in rage but choose to step up to the plate
and dream for a day without pain and will no longer spend my time being
overwhelmed

by Bobby Coles
Boiling point reached a couple of stressors ago
Seems as though you're in a self-induced prison
Nowhere to turn to, nowhere
