I am Struggling with This Middle-Aged Life
I feel like a constant failure at life
I stay angry, I don’t even know why
I clinch my fists then I break down and cry
I am struggling with this middle-aged life
It’s like I’m disconnected from the world
My very thoughts pierce my heart like a sword
My own worse enemy, I sabotage myself
I fear my own mistakes, so I hide inside my hell
I feel like a constant failure at life
I stay angry, I don’t even know why
I clinch my fists then I break down and cry
I am struggling with this middle-aged life
It isn’t fair to those that used to know me

I stay angry, I don’t even know why
Nights like this, why do I even try
I feel like a constant failure at life
I stay angry, I don’t even know why

The Wolves Are At My Door
Monday morning sound of the Xerox
I look down at my mismatched socks
Goodbye to the weekend, back into the fray
Working for a stack of bills that I can’t pay
The pounding in my head starts again
The voice that scream, ‘you cannot win!’
I push those thoughts aside and try to do my job
It’s hard to pay Paul, when there’s no Peter to rob
Money doesn’t buy happiness neither does being poor
Don’t tell me not to stress when the wolves are at my door
