I feel like I'm a prisoner of myself Exploding pain behind my eyes A fear I cannot quell Am I now and forever married to this evil thing? Lord stave off the madness help me maintain Set me free from this fearsome creature I need to be well So others cannot own me by way of the chink in my armour Sweet Jesus the only one Release me from this kind of hell Let me be done May I be whole again? Take of life it's abundant harvest Unshadowed by toil With thy blessings this demon foil Kindness and peace Emotions that weigh in equal measure Tis' the balance I treasure Greateset need Lexi Hilife 2003
