Wearing Thick Socks

Wearing thick socks in my thin soled shoes

Tryin to keep the pain, the pain away, away

From travelin down this rocky road

Not knowing how to find my way

I'm traveling a road to who knows where

Seem to have lost my connection

My inner map is upside down

Time to ask for some directions

Pangs of unknowingness fill my soul

As I go through the motions of the day

Need to find comfort for my soul

Something in a pleasurable way

Wearing thick socks in my thin soled shoes

Tryin to keep the pain away

From travelin down this rocky road

Not knowing how to find my way

I need to find my way, I need to find my way

I might break down and feel the pain

But it won't stop comin back

Somehow things have got to change

Get onto a better track

I'm overwhelmed with the task at hand

And know things need to be different

Times moving along I need a plan

Small steps I can make with intention

Wearing thick socks in my thin soled shoes

Tryin to keep the pain away

From travelin down this rocky road

Not knowing how to find my way

I need to find my way, I need to find my way

I might break down and feel the pain

But it won't stop comin back

Somehow things have got to change

Get onto a better track
