ONE MORE DAY

ONE MORE DAY

I TELL MYSELF JUST ONE MORE DAY

IMPATIENCE WON'T GET IN THE WAY

DAYS BECOME WEEKS,AND WEEKS MONTHS 

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER

I CAN FEEL THIS WAY

TRUTH IS NEVER KIND

WILL I EVER FIND, A PEACE OF MIND 

I CAN LIVE WITH

HARD TO KNOW IF THE BATTLES OVER

OR ITS JUST BEGUN

EITHER WAY I FALTER

THE LIGHTS GETTING DIM

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I

START OVER AGAIN

THE SAILS ON THIS BOAT

ARE GETTING THIN

THE FOGS SO THICK 

THAT I CAN'T SEE

WILL I EVER FIND MY WAY

OR JUST KEEP DRIFTING ENDLESSLY

INTO THIS DARKNESS UNTIL I CAN'T GO ON

ONCE I BELIEVED

BUT NOW I'M NOT SURE

HOW CAN I WHEN

 I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I'M STILL ME

NOWHERE TO GO

NO WAY TO GET THERE

IS THIS PRISON ALL IN MY HEAD

DID I CREATE THIS

DOWN FAR ENOUGH TO SEE

THE LINE BETWEEN ALIVE OR DEAD

THAT LAY AT MY FEET

I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M WINNING

MORE LIKE I'VE BEEN BEAT

FEELING NUMB

 FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES

GUESS THAT'S IT

THAT'S HOW IT GOES

I TELL MYSELF JUST ONE MORE DAY

BUT I CAN'T SEE IT

I CAN'T FEEL IT

NOTHING AT ALL SEEMS THE SAME

THIS IS A GAME 

I DON'T WANT TO PLAY
