Bone Tired

Feet ache, bone tired
Lack of help, nobody hired
Day after day of the same ol thing
Tired of hearing the phone ring
No more closer to the beginning
No closer to winning
Wanting to give up inside
Noone there to confide
Feel like your loosing control
The madness is taking hold
To tired to fight, to tired to try
All you can do is ask the question why
The world is so cold, the body so weak
Why must I go on, why must I speak
Weary and tired, I just want to rest
No appreciation when I’ve done my best
Too easy to give up, too hard to keep going
How do you hide away without someone knowing
Whatelse can you do besides swallow your pride
And resist the urge to hide
When your feet ache and your bone tired
Another one absent, another one fired
Too tired to cry, too tired to breathe
I want to give up, I just want to leave
Will it ever get better, will things ever change
Or will things just get rearranged
