You were a friend to me

when my wheels were off the tracks

And though you say there is no need

I intend to pay you back

When my mind was turning loose

and all my thoughts were turning black

You shined a light on me

And I intend to pay you back

But I still wake up shaken by dreams

And I hate to say it but the way it seems

Is that no one is fine

Take the time to peel a few layers

And you will find

True sadness

When I was a child

I depended on a bottle

Full grown I've been known

to lean on a bottle

But you're the real deal

in a world of imposters

And I seen the programs to

make men out of monsters

Cause I still wake up shaken by dreams

And I hate to say it but the way it seems

Is that no one is fine

Take the time to peel a few layers

And you will find

True sadness

Angela become a target

As soon as her beauty was seen

By young men

who tried to reduce her down

To a scene on a x-rated screen

Is she not more

than the curve of her hips

Is she not more

than the shine on her lips

Does she not dream to sing and to live

And to dance down her own path

Without being torn apart

Does she not have a heart

I can not go on with this evil inside me

I step out my front door

and I feel it surround me

Just know the kingdom of God

is within you

Even though the battle

is bound to continue

Cause I still wake up shaken by dreams

And I hate to say it but the way it seems

Is that no one is fine

Take the time to peel a few layers

And you will find

True sadness

True sadness

True true sadness
