lyrics

Oh Lord, I've been feeling so tired
Down in the day and up all night
Hand on my throat, it feels so tight
But the doctor says that she thinks I'm fine

Is this affliction the one that I've read
Working through my body or playing with my head
I feel so scared of the concept of death
But I'm only 26 with the whole world ahead of me

Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord

I didn't used to feel panicked inside
I once had control and real piece of mind
But I got busted, I'm doing hard time
And feel's like the warden's ignoring my cries

Oh warden, I'm a good guy
Tell me am I crazy or is it really a sign
How could you leave me so high and dry
Tell me, What good's a life if any moment you could die

Oh Warden, oh Warden
Oh warden, oh warden

Foolish Achilles, casting out his reel
Brought back an arrow that took out his heel
He stole the time, now it's time's turn to steal
And it ain't backin down no it's not gonna kneel

Oh Lord, give me your eyes
So I can stare through the abyss til it turns into light
And in my time of dying I'll lie
With a grin on my face and a joke on my mind

Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
