I don't know quite when it began.
Sinking into a never ending blindness, 
Of the soul.
Without inward eyes,
You realize there is no place left to go.
Within those dark corners, you can lose yourself
So completely, your stranded in a foreign body for
A human eternity.

Neon lights burn my eyes 
All of this noise, of the night life.
Where is the dawn?
I haven't seen the sun in so many days
It gave birth to the moon and left us
stranded in a strange and empty daze.

    One more drag to calm my nerves, one
More drink this soothe this overpowering thirst.
    Looking past all the simpleness,
Surrounded by an unseen chaos.
Swaying to a melody that no one else 
Can hear, yet I am aware of the  reality
That there is only myself to fear

    Another lover's naked body 
Leaves me emptier than ever, needing forgiveness
From these sins.
His soft caresses leave razor burn and
Tempting kiss an unearthly yearning to be purged
From this unquenchable desire.
    I have dropped the match that will consume me 
In its fire.

    Another drag to calm my nerves, just one more
Drink to cool my thirst, one more hit from
One more bowl, now I'm completely deaf
To my screaming soul.
    One more drag, one more drink, one more 
Hit to help me think, one more lover by my
Side, one more cursed lonely ride.

    Street lights flashing seem strangely blue,
My ears are ringing over the radio tunes.
    Going too fast to keep track of time, someone
Said "pull over!", but it must have been my mind.

    One more drag, one more drink, one more 
Hit to help me think. I feel I'm spinning 
Out of control, now driving blinded by
The road.

    Screeching tires, sounds oddly near.
Someone screaming, now I can hear.
The sound is coming from somewhere 
Inside of me, "Oh my God!" now I can see.

    Shattered glass, burning iron.
Night erupts with constant sirens.

    They say I took a good man's life,
I can't believe its real.
They say I'll never see the light of day
I'm too in shock to feel.

    Behind these bars, I am never free.
No drag, no drink, no drugs can heal me.
    I'm locked up in Hell's searing flames
and I'm drowning in this constant blame.

God gave us all a chance at the
Gift if life, what will you choose
When you leave tonight?
