lyrics

Tried to hide but it found its way
Wish that I could disappear away
Circling round, this cycle I cannot abide
Mind and body trying to decide
If I close my eyes
Than maybe come the day
When life can finally feel okay
I’ll close my eyes
And maybe come the day
That life can finally feel okay
Asked my mother, why does it hurt so hard?
Asked my father, will I always be marred?
Unseen forces make this body fight within
Will I ever feel the same again
If I close my eyes
Then maybe come the day
When life can finally feel okay
I’ll close my eyes
And maybe come the day
That life can finally feel okay
Pieces of me
One by one fall asleep
Till the light has gone out
On the entirety of me
It’s tiring when your body is your own worst enemy
A Whole Foods bag of bones subsisting with chronic disease
Holding out faulty hope that I can conquer this unease
But knowing that this life will never give guarantees
I’ll close my eyes
And maybe come the day
When life can finally feel okay
Oh I’ll close my eyes
And maybe come the day
That life can finally feel okay
