If Only They Knew

This is America

The days go by

The nights get longer

The way I feel

Only gets stronger

I try and I try

But

It won't go away

If I sliced my wrist would I die today?

If I downed the bottle

Would I be okay?

But

We all know I can't be saved

Once damage is done

There's no button for reverse

I'm living in hell

I can only shout and curse

If I dance with the devil

I cannot loose

For

It takes two to tango

But

I out grew these shoes

And

The world we live

Won't slow or pause

For it doesn't submit

To the chaos it's caused

But

As for me

I will not change

Because

The world I live

Knows only

Suffering and pain
