Words & Music by Gerlach/Hartmann/Meadows

An empty room painted black
I lost a part of me and I just can’t get it back
like a bird too long in a cage
I lost the will to fly and I don’t sing much these days
I drink to numb the pain
but it cuts through anyway

Life is hell
threw my last penny in an empty wishing well
I’m tired of fighting – somebody ring the bell
there’s got to be a better way
’cause life for me these days is hell

Another day, I don’t care
looks like loneliness isn’t going anywhere
so I’ll drink alone and I won’t mind
I’m just waiting on life to hit me one more time
go on hit me where it hurts
’cause you can’t make matters worse

Life is hell…

Life is hell
threw my last penny in an empty wishing well
I’m tired of fighting – somebody ring the bell
show me any other way
or put me in an early grave
’cause life for me these days is hell
