or is it this cold world and everyone else

i wish for a cure, but there's none I'm sure
I'm just a fish chasing after the devil's lure

going farther and farther away from the light,
til' even the dimmest light seems bright

i struggle with my selfishness
and a constant feeling of helplessness

i struggle alone, and yes i cry
but i wipe the tears from my eye

i call out but no one seems to listen
wonder if when I'm gone they'll say "damn i miss him"

I'm tormented with dreams that keep me awake
ironically ill b asleep at my wake

though i may die tomorrow at noon
or some other time i hope not so soon

ill die with my head held high
and maybe, just maybe, god will let me fly....

Is it insanity that keeps me by myself
or is it this cold world and everyone else

i wish for a cure, but there's none I'm sure
I'm just a fish chasing after the devil's lure

going farther and farther away from the light,
til' even the dimmest light seems bright

i struggle with my selfishness
and a constant feeling of helplessness

i struggle alone, and yes i cry
but i wipe the tears from my eye

i call out but no one seems to listen
wonder if when I'm gone they'll say "damn i miss him"

I'm tormented with dreams that keep me awake
ironically ill b asleep at my wake

though i may die tomorrow at noon
or some other time i hope not so soon

ill die with my head held high
and maybe, just maybe, god will let me fly....
