[Verse 1]
It started out years ago
Long before he ever fucking knew
The mind slows brought on with age
It breaks you down, it rips you to shreds
Tired eyes, a broken man
Thoughts blur with a fucked up head

[Chorus]
Dead tired he feels like a slave
Constantly battling with his own head
Loss of words you can't stand straight
The sickness is spreading to his brain
This hard working man
A father, bread winner
Stricken with his pain
No cure for his disease

[Verse 2]
It's digging its way in
It burrows like a tick
Everyone around him sees it
He thinks he's doing fine

[Bridge]
Mood swings control him now
He screams, wishing he could die
Mood swings control him now
He screams, wishing he could die
[Chorus]
Violent outburst, he can barely stand
This once strong man, is now a boy again

[Outro]
He now screams all day
Every fucking night
Kicking and screaming
No cure in sight
He lays and waits to die
