Danger Inside
Anger, it owns me
Fear, it controls me
Pain, it feeds me
Bitter life of apathy
Ain't got no one to talk to
Help me to concede
This festering numbness
Has got the best of me
The morning doesn't fuel me
The dark nights serve
Only to consume me.
Clench my fists tightly
In case you try to fight me
Thoughts keep racing
Floor, I'm pacing
What a place to be
No where you'd wanna be
Throughout the years
I've grown got a couple of
Kids of my own
And no place that
Could ever feel like home
This life is beside me
Sometimes I wanna "hide"
See?
Absent tears awakening
A tired body breaking
Nothing much to say but
Bitter words of rage.
If anger doesn't leave me
nor this pain deceive me
or my faith in God redeem me
I'm afraid he won't receive me.
