Unknown Pain

Walking in shoes that don’t belong
My path was chosen for me
Trying to pull away
I get told to stay
I want to make them proud
But I don’t like this crowd
It’s not their right
To tell me what to do in life
They tell me not to fight
That everything will be alright

(chorus)
One more drink
Feeling better
One more cut
Numb within
One more hit
Soaring higher
How did it come to this?
It’s so destructive

I fear happiness
Feeling swirls within
Then get scared
Turn and run
Starting to come undone
Find a dark place
Indulging in sin,
Exit feeling so empty within
A night I should explain
So unaware of their “Angel’s” pain

(Chorus)

I keep playing this game
Life or death
Love or hate
So self-conscious I try to change
Feelin so judged
Smeared with shame
I ask the one question
Am I to blame?

(reprise)

Who am I?
I think I know
Then everything changes
And erases
All steps taken 

One drink, one cut, one hit
Feel better, numb within, soaring higher

It’s all over now
No more crying
