This Life I Live

This life that i live, is no life at all
 Everyone that i know has their backs to the wall
 And I cant ease this pain that's deep in me
 For many long years its been misery
 I'm a shell of a man that I used to be
 and I cant seem to tame this awful disease
 There's a dirty black hole where my heart used to be
 these shackles and chains just wont set me free
 I awake in the night, I tremble and sigh
 damp on my cheek from the tears that I cry
 alone in this fight that I'll never win
 this demon in me until the end
 I'm a shell of a man that I used to be
 and I cant seem to tame this awful disease
 there's a dirty black hole where my heart used to be
 these shackles and chains just wont set me free
 there's a dirty black hole where my heart used to be
 these shackles and chains just wont set me free
