Monopoly On Sorrow
Suicidal Tendencies Lyrics

There's a cold wind in the winter of my mind
I'm feeling emotionally cold and disconnected from the world

A season that lasts through all changes in time
This feeling is constant and enduring, regardless of the passage of time

I try too hard sometimes
I put too much pressure on myself to keep going despite my emotional state

I wish there was a raincheck on tomorrow
I wish I could postpone or avoid dealing with the difficulties that lay ahead

Not ready to deal with what I don't wanna find
I'm not prepared to confront the painful truths that await me

Struggling alone, just to hold on
I feel isolated in my emotional pain and am trying to cope by myself

I just wanna know why is it me
I'm questioning why I have to suffer like this

In a tear there is a message from the heart
Crying can be a release and express emotions that words can't

Detached from the good it's a hope gone astray
My optimism has faded and my hopes for the future are out of reach

I cry so hard sometimes
My emotional pain is so intense that it brings me to tears

Too scared to think what what will bring tomorrow
I'm too afraid to consider what challenges the future may hold

Already much more than I can handle today
I'm overwhelmed and struggling to cope with my current situation

I can't breathe, suffocate as I'm buried by hate
My negative emotions are stifling me and making it hard to breathe

And so sadly I learn there's no justice to fate
I'm coming to terms with the fact that life isn't fair and that bad things can happen to anyone

Losing the race with thoughts out of place
I feel like my own thoughts and emotions are working against me

You ain't got a monopoly on sorrow
Others have experienced emotional pain and hardship just like me

There's plenty that feel just the same
I'm not alone in my struggles and there are others who can empathize with me

There's a pain so insane that I fight but can't tame
My emotional pain is so intense that it seems beyond my ability to control

And my mind battles on as my body lies lame
Despite my physical exhaustion, my mind is still consumed by my emotional struggles

I can't feel the feel but I feel like it hurts
My emotional pain is so overwhelming that it feels almost numb and unfeeling

Hurts hurts
The pain is still there and persists despite this numbness

And I know that I know I don't know if I know if
I'm struggling to understand and make sense of my own emotions

It just would stay clear then I'd see and I'd go
If my emotional state were clearer and more understandable, it would be easier to move forward

No no no no no
Expresses a sense of frustration and pain

You ain't got no monopoly on sorrow
The pain I feel isn't unique and others have experienced it too
