Torn Beneath

(1st verse)

Your friends and family knows,

That when eighteen comes and goes,

You’re out on your own.

As you hang around,

People try to put you down,

Wasting minuets on your phone.

Abandon by your sister,

Separated from your brother,

Cut off from your father,

Forsaken by your mother.

Feel the cold wind blow,

As your walking through the snow,

See the faces of stone.

With your headphones on,

Getting lost within a song,

And feeling all alone.

So you got no money,

And your down and out,

Full of frustrations,

Only energy to SHOUT!

(1st chorus)

Makes you wish you could forget,

As you search the internet,

And you want to throw a fit,

Because you’re getting sick of it,

Lighting up a cigarette,

Will it force you to admit?

As you take another hit,

That nobody here gives a shit.

Stricken by grief,

There is no relief.

You’re simply torn beneath!

(2nd verse)

There are medics for the wounded,

Health care for the sick,

Umbrellas for the rain.

Intuitions for the insane,

Operations for your brain,

They still can’t explain.

The pain and emptiness within ones soul,

After years of hell, finely takes its toll.

So you look around,

Knowing that the one you found,

Feels the same way.

Two broken hearts put together,

Hoping it will last forever,

Day by day.

The time has come,

To stop the pain,

Put aside your fears,

There’s a world to gain.

(2nd chorus)

Makes you wish you could forget,

As you search the internet,

And you want to throw a fit,

Because you’re growing sick of it,

Lighting up a cigarette,

Will it force you to admit?

As you take another hit,

Nobody here gives a shit.

When stricken by grief,

There is some relief.

When you’re torn beneath!
