Trying to Cope

This is a song one of my friends wrote for me many years ago. I keep a copy of it in my memory box. This is my song.

Trying to Cope - Recycled Souls

Well I'm broken down, it seems I have no voice.
You've given me no choice again
I bury my anguish in my pillow and scream with all my might
Get back in touch tonight.
I stare down at the gleaming piece upon my desk
I feel the glide of the blade, see the blood confess my sin
The only thing I feel is the pain that is there.

Take this all away. I'm running inside with nowhere to hide.
Slam the door, throw myself on the floor and cry out
Take this all away. Take this burden I cannot bear
The only thing I feel is the pain that is there
You've got to take it away.

Well another day comes, and I put on my cosmetic smile
Face the day, coping for a while it seems
What will push me over the edge?
What's sad is that I would rather die than live.
Push back the sleeves to reveal the scars of emptiness I feel
Oh God, can't You hear me? What do I do?
I'm so lost without You.

Tell me You love me, that it will be alright
Please forgive me tonight.
Tell me You're there when no one cares
God, I surrender, I cry out.
