This is life, one punishing day at a time

I'm holding my demons in
They are scratching to get out

I'm holding my tongue
Even though I want to scream

I want to be normal but I'm past that point now
I'm to old to begin again

I'm losing interest
Let me sleep for years

Let the tears stain

And in my head they say
"Cry tonight, no one fucking cares."

And in my head I believe these words
and close my eyes because sleeping gives me more comfort these days
then being awake ever did

I'm calloused
I'm bruised
I'm broken

The world is heartless
No one cares about your pain
No one cares if you are bleeding

This is life, one punishing day at a time
