Bring me some clarity
In this ocean that surrounds me.
A royal sea of misery
Bring me some respite
From this slow motion catastrophe
That stops me being anything good
And chips away at my resolve
Til I’m no better
Than the monsters that surround me
Lying and breaking the rules
Just to feel alive
One day in a hundred
Where I am the real me
There ain’t nothing but the darkness here
Cinder blocks and locks
And the same thing
Day in, day out
Find me some mirth
Brighten my day
Give me something
To make this time
Anything other than a wasted
And let the hard times
Make me strong enough
To lift this burden
Chained to my heart
