As my world grows darker I find it hard to think, hard to focus, hard to sleep As it crumbles all around me I feel tired and alone, all I want to do is weep As I cry out to God Hear my cries, hear my screams, their melancholy chorus Asking for a sign What to do, where to go, how to change my course If I can't take my life and turn it all around Then take this life and turn it to the ground Now I try to be strong For my kids, my family and my friends But when everything goes wrong I lose faith, lose hope, please just let it end How do I move on So much hurt, so much pain, a soul full of sorrow What is to comeNo more dreams, no more joy, no more tomorrow If I can't take this life and turn it all around Then take this life and turn it to the ground And then there's the rage All the anger, violence and frustration I feel And I don't understand why So tired and weak I just cannot heal I dread the mornings Meaningless work only to come home alone The nights are worse No sleep or dreams, only horrors am I shown If I can't take this life and turn it all around Then take this life and turn it to the ground So what do I do Hide from the world, the people, the light Or play the game Fake a smile, wear a mask, say everything's alright It comes to this I'll do what I can I'll do what I must And if I can't Ashes to ashes and dust to dust If I can't take this life and turn it all around Then take this life and turn it to the ground Turn it to the ground, turn it to the ground
