Self-inflicted Wounds that won't heal
Rob Springer 1971 (New Albany)
Full of scars that won't heal
They crack and bleed pulling at my will
My naked sarrow is like a cancer that grows
I wear a masquerade so no one knows
My self-inflicted wounds that won't heal
I self medicate so my soul doesn't have to feel
All these thoughts and feelings that are all to real
I ask the reaper to collect my soul
I've said my goodbyes and packed my bags it's time to go..........
