Slipping into darkness
Further than ever before
Hands trembling
The next move is clear
Nothing's left worth fighting for
The nostrum numbs and blinds
No, this can't be right
The venom's spreading
More toxic with each breath
Tainting my spirit
Infected thoughts plague my head
I'm in the crosshair
Pointer to trigger's set
I close my eyes
This end I accept
Tears strike beholden eyes
For the voice of reason cried
You are worth your life
Staring down the barrel of absolution
But your gentle words were my salvation
Staring down the barrel of absolution
But your gentle words were my salvation
My salvation
