Everything I Have To Lose
I feel like a haze
Has covered my brain
I've lost myself
In hiding the pain
No longer my own
I'm out of my zone
Feels like the music
Has lost its tone
I'm feeling no shame
I'm probably not sane
But really, who would be
When playing this game?
Why do they say
"Try to be brave"
Most of these people
Know nothing of pain
It's everything I have to lose
But everything to gain
When will this fog turn to a storm
And pour down clearing rain?
