The pain I feel is permanent
It ain't ever going away
It's best that I get used it
Each and every painful day
No use in complaining
No use in making a single sound
Besides no one is listening
There ain't no one around
These are the shitty days of my so-called life
It's all stress and it's all strife
I'm on my way down
Down, down, down
I'm on my way down
Down, down, down
The rage I feel is palpable
So bad I’ve chewed up my tongue
Used to be that I could manage it
But that was way back when I was very young
Now I just wanna shake it up
Like so many aftershocks
Wanna find that object of my hate
And smash it on the rocks
This is the crazy world I find myself in
All of the clatter and all of the din
Be a good friend and toss me a rope
Is it really too late for me to give up hope
The depression I feel is not dissipating
Envelopes me like a tule fog
No matter how I try to rise above it
It’s all one long slog
What bugs me most is indifference
A world in which no one really cares
I can scream my holy head off
And I get back are vacant stares
That's the story that got written
And I’m not hard enough to be hard-bitten
