Song 344

lyrics

Anger is my anchor as I try to swim
When I should be floating, I keep sinking in
When I meet my maker, I'll find out where I've been
I should be counting blessings, but I'm only counting sins

Is this pain futile, or can I learn from this
All the lies are subtle, a dagger with a kiss
I should be better at seeing things I always miss
I should want freedom, but I've been caged in bliss

All my life I had to try, I never did find out why

I shot right through the ceiling when I thought it was gone
I couldn't change the feelings, I couldn't just play along
I should find an answer, somewhere in the songs
Will only hear silence, when the final curtain's drawn

All my life I had to try, I never did find out why

Sorrow is a chain that forces me to stay
I'll never be an angel, but I'll still fly away
I can't fight the dawning of another day
But I can make a choice, if I want to stay
