THE TORMENT WITHIN

Thomas Swatek

I have seen things that have made me sick

I have seen things made me want to die quick

I have heard things made my body need

I have heard things that made my ears bleed

I feel that there’s nothing left for me

Just a sick idea of how it should be

No one here to show me the way

No one cares what I have to say

I reach for help and no one’s around

I scream for days and you don’t hear a sound

I have talked to you, now what did I say?

I feel my life is slipping away

Need to find a way not to feel like I do

Maybe the problem’s not me; maybe it’s you

Is it real or just in my head

Did you even hear a fucking thing I said?
