Will my sorrow be the end of me?

Sadness overthrows my heart
it screams for an answer
a simple solution
for all of the pain and sorrow
pop the lid off a pill bottle
pop the cap off a beer
nothing seems to work
I'm tied to this fate
why must my sorrow
be the end of me
i try to hide it behind smiles
but the sorrow burns a hole right through
i need an answer
or even an explanation
why is my sorrow devouring me whole?
i don't have a clue
i run from this fate
but i can't escape
it's as though clouds are rolling in
and the rain that falls will drown me
but the only clouds i see
are my eyes ready to burst
my tears are the rain
i guess my sorrow will be the end of me
