22 Gone Today

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...
