Sorrow For Tomorrow

I've been sitting here for hours now just staring into space
Remembering the bad times, God help me.
I'm so bitter with emotion and my tears burn down my face
Wish I could keep my sorrow for tomorrow and be free
The room is very dark now and I notice every flicker
Remembering the bad times, God help me.
My mind is utter turmoil, overflowing, growing sicker
Wish I could keep my sorrow for tomorrow and be free

Bad images are etching on my eyelids when my eyes close
Remembering the bad times, God help me.
My body's feeling tortured from my head down to my toes
Wish I could keep my sorrow for tomorrow and be free
Now I'm shaking with pure panic as the tension builds within me
Remembering the bad times, God help me.
I hear shouting, screaming, crying and it's sounding from within me
Wish I could keep my sorrow for tomorrow and be free

I am lost now in my visions filled with terror and revulsion
Remembering the bad times, God help me.
My sweat's dripping, I taste vomit and I'm filled with pure repulsion
Wish I could keep my sorrow for tomorrow and be free
As I slowly find my senses and my mind begins to function
From remembering the bad times, God help me
I start praying to the Lord to leave me here now at this junction
Please God don't keep all my sorrows for tomorrow let me be...
