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
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 sheathes
Prepare to die is this what you wanted?
A blinding light and it all goes quiet
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
