Analysis of Hurt

john mcclenathan 1984 (ATHOL)



The hurt in my heart feeling lost and confused
knowing I can win with the choices i choose
pain running deep my soul is the fuse
cant trust a human with no solid roots
my mind is going crazy time dripping away
this smoke got me lazy my body feeling brusied
tears in my eyes just a river of blues
