Still Sinking

Trudging through the dirt

Wondering why it feels like me against the earth

All my life I've searched only to realize

I've paid more than it's worth

How long can I keep this up?

I'm tired, and I'm barely holding on (holding on)

There's no turning back

Now drunken knives are dancing on my wrist

How did it come to this?

I gave it all I had

Now I just wait for death, as blood runs down my hands

Oh, as I black out I hear a voice say, "Don't let go"

So close to hell

Just take me home

How long can I keep this up?

I'm tired, and I'm barely holding on

How long until I've had enough?

I'm tired of living my life in the dark

Tall figures surround me

In black hoods with no face

They slowly approach me

And draw swords from their sheaths

Prepare to die

Is this what you wanted?

A blinding light and it all goes quiet
