Take My Pain Away

I’ve been in this boat, a long time now, I got nowhere to go
Ashes are falling-fallin’, from the sky, Hot as hell below
I can see you, you can see me, am I finally free?
My lips are moving-moving, but you can’t hear me

The bow’s under water, why is the, current moving so fast
Radio’s not working-working, cell’s dead, is this my last?
Feeling claustrophobic, can’t move my fingers, can you make it stop?
The shovel is scraping-scraping, the earth, dirt is hittin’ the top

I drink for tomorrow, I drink for today
I’m drowning my sorrows take my pain away
I drink for tomorrow, I drink for today
I’m drowning my sorrows take my pain away

I grab a 5 gallon bucket, no land, or boat in sight
I’m bailing-bailin’, the water, with all my might
Life splashes over, in front of me, how far can I swim?
The water is crashing, crashing, do I believe in him?

The voices inside, are screaming aloud, darkness taking control
Light is, fleeting-fleetin’, Edgar Allen, swallows me whole
You’re all dressed, dressed in black, stop walking away
Crows are soaring-soarin’, Oh please please stay!

I drink for tomorrow, I drink for today
I’m drowning my sorrows take my pain away
I drink for tomorrow, I drink for today
I’m drowning my sorrows take my pain away

It’s ice cold, treading water, no hope in sight
Closing my eyes, holding-holdin’, with no more fight
A deep breath in, deep breath out, hoping that you’re real
Body is shaking-shakin’, and I cannot feel

Grieve me, tormented soul, to you I ascend
Tortured suffering-sufferin’, this is the end
Here I am, there you are, all dressed in white
This is happening happenin’, the light’s so bright

I drink for tomorrow, I drink for today
I’m drowning my sorrows take my pain away
I drink for tomorrow, I drink for today
I’m drowning my sorrows take my pain away

…take my pain away
…take my pain away
…take my pain away
…take my pain away
