lord i'm suffering
i'm dying inside
lord, i'm suffering
I just wanta hide
forever and ever and ever
because no matter what they'll never
get it. get this
lord they be wrong
so wrong, I long
for someone to understand
i ain't depressed
i ain't lowly
i'm just sick
lord I never been sicker
and when I hear them snicker
at my pain, when I hear them blame
me: the joke, I choke
lord i be choking a million times a day
lord what I got, it won't go away
malaise? no lord its real
so real, lord i feel
so entirely unwell
and of course I just go on living
(but not really living)
lord, I pretend I'm okay
but you know in truth
I'm so far from okay
lord, I spend so much of the day
mending their problems,
trying to fix their souls
when my whole
being is being
impossible
my head hurts, my heart hurts
my lungs are polluted and I'm choking
lord it ain't mental
I ain't mental
I'm just sick
lord I wish
I had someone to talk to
but the people I talk to
they never get it
and I want them to so bad
lord, I've had
enough, lord how can I explain
in a way that'll make them feel the pain
if I can't I'm no writer
lord, I'm trying so hard
to do my best
but I can't overcome it
lord why can't I get through this one test
its going on and on and on
it comes back with a vengeance
lord its like i got a life sentence
of pain. lord i don't know the name
of this thing I got.
I think I'm the only one
in this whole wide world
who's ever experienced it
and it makes me feel so lonely
knowing that, and feeling this way
lord for now I got nothing more to say
except this
please take away my suffering
please take away my suffering
I'm up against a hard blustering
wind and it's tryna blow me away,
against a force so strong
I'm still tryna stay
rooted, but lord it's hard
but so am I. yeah I know I am.
Lord please- I wanta be at ease.
please, please please
lord, make it go away.
