The Wounded One

As the sands of time fall slipping through my fingers

I wonder why as if I’d find the answer

Is nothing real? Does it really matter?

I wish it’d end so I can find what lies after

Sometimes you gotta let it go

If you wanna move on and grow

I know it’s so hard to heal

Shut it all off so you don’t feel

Alone, I am the wounded one

Life is pain. At least that’s what they all say

And my refrain is pain is all I feel

But I am more than that one emotion

No more pain. I need retribution

Sometimes you gotta let it go

If you wanna move on and grow

I know it’s so hard to heal

Shut it all off so you don’t feel

Alone, I am the wounded one

No more rage. No vitriol or venom

Don’t wanna be…don’t wanna be the victim

I try to scream but I just can’t make a sound

Life is cruel. It kicks you when you are down

Sometimes you gotta let it go

If you wanna move on and grow

I know it’s so hard to heal

Shut it all off so you don’t feel

Alone, I am the wounded one
