Anger and pain are all
Anger and pain are all to familiar
Every day is a struggle to keep it together
Every morning I go about with a smile on my face
Meanwhile these demons inside are clawing away
I feel them scratching and tearing waiting to get out
i keep them caged with my will but somewhere in my mind there is doubt
They say put your trust in god and he'll lift your load away
I must be forgotten because i've had it since 2nd grade
Every time that i'm tested they rear their ugly head
I feel them sinking my heart like water does lead
i let out a sigh to keep them inside
But they're breaking those chains as they moan and cry
They're not getting out, well, i hope that they don't
They oil the rope so I can't pin them down
I plead to god to lift this curse
But it seems like nothing can work
so now as i sit here, my hands on the board
I look at the screen and admire my work
keep it together it'll be all over soon
I bid thee farewell and good afternoon
