Everyday I feel the strain
As I am drowing from the pain
It's getting hard to stand
As I play the game of life with the deadmans hand
I look in the mirror and dont recognize the man staring back at me
Everyday is the same
I look to heaven as i burn down in the flames
Wishing the outcome would change
Tears run down my face
As I know I'll never leave this place
God knows I tried to live right
But my demons hide in plain sight
I got one shot to change this time
But I'm serving 25 to life
Its been a rough life so far
Lost alot of family
Even tried to end my life
Its been a hell of a ride
I'm just a troubled soul
Looking for love
I lay my heart on the line
Let it fly on the wings of a dove
Sometimes I look to the sky
And I wonder why
This is my life
This is the way it goes
