Seeking Peace

Almost forgotten pains, brought back into the light
One of these days, God, I swear I'll get it straight
One of these days, but it won't be tonight...
Tonight, I want to forget, I want to get lost
I don't want to remember these nightmares
That trail in my shadow, never leave my side
Lately, things keep getting darker
These deceptions are growing stronger, weakening my heart
But, never, never will give up, nor give in
I'm stronger than that...
But, I am weaker than I should be!
Falling down too damn often
Bleeding like a waterfall, from my fractured heart
Everything just seems to hurt more, lately
Like somebody placed a magnifying glass above my pain
Damn tomorrow, just give me tonight
Damn yesterday, just give me tonight
Damn all these emotions, raging ceaselessly
I just want one night of peace
For it is the one thing that I seek
And the only thing I cannot find
So, damn it all to hell...
Like Willie Nelson always says:
"Let the Devil take tomorrow,
'cause tonight I need a friend..."
