22 Gone Today Lyrics


So many miles away that I have flown

I'm sitting broken and alone

This is my house

But I feel like I'm never home

No one can take away this pain

This shattered mind and twisted frame

Nothing will ever be the same

22 gone today

I have been sentenced to this chair

The more time flies the less I care

Sometimes I sit at the window and stare

And a million mothers cry the night away

There's no way to escape this pain

Don't you pat me on the back

And tell me it's okay (just stay away)

The way the children stare at me

In a twisted way

They're slowly driving me insane

And while you're listening to this song

Another one's gone today

The screams of soldiers that I killed

In my nightmares haunt me still

I'm told relax and take these pills

And a million mothers cry the night away

They cry the night away

Don't you pat me on the back

And tell me it's okay (it's not okay)

The way the children stare at me

In a twisted way (twisted, twisted way)

And while you're listening to this song

Another one's gone today

[Lead - Ross]

And a million mothers cry the night away

They cry the night away

Don't know if I will survive

Another day (another day)

Something deep inside says

I shouldn't stay (it's not okay)

And while you're listening to this song

They say be glad I have my life

I see the sadness in the eyes

Love my family and my wife

Within these bottles I will drown

To me, the world seems upside down

Feeling like I don't want to be around

I can't escape from these four walls

I think I hear the angel's call

And now it's time to end it all...
