'Till the Waters Recede
I don't wanna be your whipping boy anymore
I was always told that I was never good enough
I've heard the yells, I've heard the screams, don't call the bluff
I've felt the pain of a hundred years packed into few
I've already worked a lifetime for me at forty two
I wanna get away from this body but I don't wanna die
I wanna get away from this body but I don't wanna die
I wanna reach out, I wanna get help, but I feel so frozen inside
I'm drowning fast, I'm sinking down, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I'm so young this flesh shouldn't have to feel what it's felt
I'm stripped and scarred but we are forced to bleed through what we're dealt
I don't wanna be your whipping boy anymore
I've already had my days filled with electric prods
I've felt the whip, I've felt the belt, I've felt the rods
I'm always coloring, fading from red to black to blue
I don't know myself and I damn sure as hell can't take this abuse
I wanna get away from this body but I don't wanna die
I wanna reach out, I wanna get help, but I feel so frozen inside
I'm drowning fast, I'm sinking down, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I was always told that I was never good enough
I've heard the yells, I've heard the screams, don't call the bluff
I've felt the pain of a hundred years packed into few
I've already worked a lifetime for me at forty two
I wanna get away from this body but I don't wanna die
I wanna get away from this body but I don't wanna die
I wanna reach out, I wanna get help, but I feel so frozen inside
I'm drowning fast, I'm sinking down, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I'm so young this flesh shouldn't have to feel what it's felt
I'm stripped and scarred but we are forced to bleed through what we're dealt
I don't wanna be your whipping boy anymore
I've already had my days filled with electric prods
I've felt the whip, I've felt the belt, I've felt the rods
I'm always coloring, fading from red to black to blue
I don't know myself and I damn sure as hell can't take this abuse
I wanna get away from this body but I don't wanna die
I wanna reach out, I wanna get help, but I feel so frozen inside
I'm drowning fast, I'm sinking down, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
