My heart cries out for relief
It seems like I can't find any peace
Chaos all around me
And it's hard for me to breath
I see the four walls
They're closing in around me
It's hard to see
I fall down to my knees
And pray for belief
I want to believe everything will be okay
But my mind always gets in the way
Thinking I will forever be this way
On, how I want to change
I pray for willingness
I want to be able to do the opposite of
What I've always done
Can I muster the strength
I am ******* weak
No pride left in me
Just a lowly man
It's hard to understand
What life is all about
I pray for guidance
But usually run on self-will
How well does it work?
Well, let me say it ******* *****
I crave for attention
But usually don't get none
I cry out for this and that
Wanting everything under the sun
It's not the way I want to be
Can there ever be any relief for me?
