Lyrics
If only for a minute ©2018 William George Messinetti
Welcome to my journey
A tour of my brain
It’s so freaky and scary
But I’m not insane
Addiction, affliction
Maybe a disease
I can’t control it
Call it what you please
I’m sweating and I’m shaking
My crawling skin is aching
I beg for a different space and time
To live in a new paradigm
If only for a minute I could be alright
Take away my demons that haunt me tonight
If only for a minute there’s no struggle no fight
An answer to my worries all my stresses my blight
If only for a minute
If only for a minute,
If only for a minute I could be alright
If only for a minute I could be, alright
I’m reaching as I’m falling
I’m fading in despair
I’m lonely come help me
Does anybody care
I’m searching and praying
I’m calling out in pain
I need a solution
Life without the strain
I feel this world just ain’t for me
Evil just won’t let me be
I want to look up, I want to find peace
I want a new life, I want a new lease
If only for a minute I could be alright
Take away my demons that haunt me tonight
If only for a minute there’s no struggle no fight
An answer to my worries all my stresses my blight
If only for a minute, If only for a minute
If only for a minute I could be alright
If only for a minute I could be, alright
I, need someone, to hold me, tonight
I, need someone, to tell me, I’m alright
If only for a minute I could be alright
Take away my demons that haunt me tonight
If only for a minute there’s no struggle no fight
An answer to my worries all my stresses, I fight
If only for a minute, If only for a minute,
If only for a minute I could be alright,
If only for a minute, If only for a minute
If only for a minute I could be alright
If only for a minute I could be alright
I just wanna be alright
I wish my demons would leave me alone
Leave me alone
