My Heart Weeps

Theres a part of me that no one sees
Where my heart weeps
And my blood seeps
Like tears runnin' down my cheeks

As I'm thinkin' back to love that I've lost
'Cuz it's taken from me such great cost
I ask the Lord if He can afford
To take this burden off of my front porch

The pain I feel is so sureal
I almost welcome it 'cuz I cant deal
And the chemicals pull up my shield
But they're blocking my attempts to heal

The needle takes it's place on the throne
I look around, Im all alone
I have no place to call my own
I have no faith, I have no home

The future seems so so bleack
Am I sick? Or am I weak?
Can I get back on my own two feet?
Can I walk this road? Can I take the heat?

I miss the chaos I hate so much
I base my life on it, my crutch
My excuse to live as such
I only see what I can touch
