Youth Action Board. Local church funded wanna be teenage activists who fight drugs in our town. They call themselves straight edge. Pissin' me off.

lyrics

Lately I've been feeling cold
An ache right down to the bone
A feeling learned
Cold can sometimes numb the pain
If it's cold enough to burn
This cold don't burn

You think,
I can take the smallest bit of pain with a smile
Nothin' left but ache
I just want to let go for a while

I couldn't find a reason why
Not to waste my time
I want to nullify my life
With this or that
I noose around my neck
Lay awake, another sleepless night

With everything that you do
Did you ever think it through?
Or did you give up,
just to bring them down with you?

See though skin like cellophane
A cloud of smoke to numb the pain
A wet cloth wrap that racks my brain
With this or that,
Another panic attack
I can tell I'm about to have a bash

You think,
I can take the smallest bit of pain with a smile
Nothin' left but ache
I just want to let go for a while
You think,
I can take the smallest bit of pain with a smile
To weak to say a thing
Or is that pride?
I thought I let that die
