Analysis of Your Drug
Sober I will be.
I've fallen to my knee...
I've cried out Heaven Save Me.
I've stumbled and fallen
SOMEONE help me I've been sinking.
Don't you even get an inkling
Can't you see what's happened to me?
I've walked away finally
My legs are concrete
Inside I'm dying
There is no up and there is no down.
Simply here. Simply now.
What a painful concept for me
Don't you see
I've survived only looking past today
And into tomorrow.
I'm on the edge again.
Dangling my feet
Dare I jump
Into this sea
It calls to me
For a way to escape the pain..
I miss you
I miss me
I'm trying
Stop holding this over me
I'm not right but I'm not wrong. This has been a life of misery
In my darkest night
I'm in the abyss
Drifting toward temptation
Praying for salvation
Losing all sense of redemption
Reality is gone
Don't you see
I'm alone within my mind and it terrifies me
Living someone elses life
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I'm hoping to escape
Just one day
Oh my god you'll never know what hold you have on me.
