i can feel you
just around the corner
stalking
waiting
getting closer
it's too late to turn back
i'm already in your trap
no one can save me now
this time i'm going down
so turn the lights out
quiet down now
pull the pills out
do the shots now
i cannot move
i cannot speak
i cannot get away
so just let me sleep
until this monster is gone
relief is wonderful, oh what a feeling
relief is temporary
relief is always fleeting
relief is oh so good, and it's oh so freeing
relief is terrifying
because it's always fleeting
but still it always comes back
stronger than it was before
i fight with everything i have
until i can't take it anymore
i won't give up
i won't give in
but sometimes i just can't win
the pain won't stay away
and it's slowly driving me insane
