It always comes back to this
Why do you tease me with
Moments of happiness
It always comes back to this
It always ends the same way
Can I not have one day
Without falling into the grey
It always ends the same way
It never leaves me alone
Why let me think it’s gone
Feel the brief touch of the sun
It never leaves me alone
It hangs overhead like a cloud
Why am I never allowed
To cast away the shroud
It hangs overhead like a cloud
It follows me round day and night
Can I not hide from its sight
And not have to fight
It follows me round day and night
It taints and destroys my hope
Can I not loosen the rope
And not feel its choke
It taints and destroys my hope
It burns and scars my skin
Do you see how fragile and thin
What remains within
It burns and scars my skin
It owns and rules my life
Will you hand me the knife
That will end my strife
It owns and rules my life
It will never let me escape
You cannot lift away the drape
Or cut away the tape
It will never let me escape.
