Sorrow

Its got me down so low
Pulled out to sea,
Raging waves way above my reach.
Sorrow
Its got a good grip on me
Tied to the railroad tracks,
Speeding train headed right to me.
Sorrow
Its taking full control of me
Tossed into a pit,
walls way to steep.
Sorrow
It's so hard to breathe
It's so hard to see
It's so hard to crawl away from
It's so hard to hide my shame
Sorrow
Eating away at me
Picking its way through me
Everytime I face myself
I see nothing,
but the sorrow bleeding in me.
