Wages of Sin

As darkness begins to surface Feeling hopeless even worthless What's my purpose? In this there is no happy ending Feeling lost from the beginning Life full of un-accomplishments Never receiving any compliments Who's got room for a lost soul? Tell me! I'm at the bottom of the totem pole Doubts too heavy I can't carry this load Give me directions! I'm trying to get off this long dark road No end in sight, searching for light All I see is night Tell me, Is there any hope for me? Surely this ain't the way things are suppose to be But apparently I'm a wreck and I'm talking about emotionally I just dropped a heavy load as I proceed to walk I turn around and it's my body outlined in chalk
