Feel Better

When I am black and blue,

and twisted inside

When I am wretched and

need a place to hide

I creep into a closet

that is dark and cool and quiet

I lie still in the darkness and I breath

Till I feel better mmmm,

till I feel better

Till I feel better mmmm,

till I feel better

When I am pushed and shoved

and hurt in this place

When I blink back the tears

and want to hide my face

I need the solace of a womb

I seal myself inside a tomb

I sink under a blanket and I breath

Till I feel better mmmm,

till I feel better

Till I feel better mmmm,

till I feel better

When I am troubled by

the memories I keep

When the newsreel in my mind

will not let me sleep

I think of those that I have lost,

the details of my sins

Until I gather up my mind and breath

Till I feel better mmmm,

till I feel better

Till I feel better mmmm,

till I feel better

breath in, breath out
