Trapped in This Skin
This night just seems not to end
It stretches on much to my chagrin
I lay in this bed trapped in this skin
Why must life be this way
Why must lonely nights lead into sorrowful day
Why must in my head all these thoughts play
As I lay here and wait for the light
Trying to decide if I should give up the fight
But I don't live for myself so I haven't the right
So I just toss and I turn
Stressed and stomach churns
And my scars just burn
Maybe with a new day
I'll look at things a different way
Maybe I'll have better things to say
For now even my bones feel heavy
I'm hoping my tears don't break down the levee
Praying tomorrow I can hold everything steady
