Anger and pain are all

Anger and pain are all to familiar

Every day is a struggle to keep it together

Every morning I go about with a smile on my face

Meanwhile these demons inside are clawing away

I  feel them scratching and tearing waiting to get out

i keep them caged with my will but somewhere in my mind there is doubt

They say put your trust in god and he'll lift your load away

I must be forgotten because i've had it since 2nd grade

Every time that i'm tested they rear their ugly head

I feel them sinking my heart like water does lead

i let out a sigh to keep them inside 

But they're breaking those chains as they moan and cry

They're not getting out, well, i hope that they don't

They oil the rope so I can't pin them down

I plead to god to lift this curse

But it seems like nothing can work

so now as i sit here, my hands on the board

I look at the screen and admire my work

keep it together it'll be all over soon

I bid thee farewell and good afternoon
