The Lonely Forest - Opium Blues lyrics

Nice suits and black shoes, everyone is cryin. Now I think it's my time to slip away. How I loathe this feeling. On top of all the dying I think I need a new job, running out of money. And my mom just phoned about the news. It always seems that just as I Build the strength enough to climb and fight The trees they grow in and block my sight And now I'm stuck here, with my darkest inner thoughts. I pleaded and prayed to you To come and take away The voices and the choices that are bound to tear me limb from limb. They told me that you hear in some other way But if the answer is unknown, then why should I believe them when they say That you're up there and you honestly do care? Everyone is singing now about the God, the God of love. But I don't feel it in my heart right now. The comforting rea**urance of a cause, but I want to believe... It always seems that just as I Build the strength enough to climb and fight The trees they grow in and block my sight And now I'm stuck here, with my darkest inner thoughts. I pleaded and prayed to you To come and take away The voices and the choices that are bound to tear me limb from limb. They told me that you hear in some other way But if the answer is unknown, then why should I believe them when they say That you're up there and you honestly do care? Oh the opium blues inside my veins. I've got the chemicals inside my head to blame. The d** do what the friends cannot. Oh, I think it's my time to slip away...how I love this feeling!
