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
