The Dark

Indulge 'til I can't feel no more
Smoke chokes my throat, and then I hit the floor
No, can't do this anymore
I've gone to far, but still I carry on
Hope I don't wake up tomorrow
Shut off my brain, drug to avoid the sorrow
Cope, another pill to swallow
I numb my pain, but can't put down the bottle

Will I always be trapped inside?
Or are there ways to leave the mind?

When I was young, never knew why
I just don't feel right
Since then, I lie awake at night
Can't sleep through my internal fight
What will my fate be should I die?
Will I find peace beyond this life?
And if I go, will my loved ones be alright?

Call my name in the dark, my name in the dark, so I can find you
Fall like rain from above, show me how to love like I'm designed to

Am I a slave to addiction?
Filling out my own prescription

Never imagined that I'd end up this way
Despite the choices I've made
And now I'm living with a foot in the grave
Never learn from my mistakes
Because my sanity has all but decayed
My state of constant disarray
All alone in the shadow I portray

Call my name in the dark, my name in the dark, so I can find you
Fall like rain from above, show me how to love like I'm designed to
Cause I'm bent out of shape from waiting,
and I'm so sick always sedating myself
I'm barely hanging on
Carve my name on the wall, if I should be wrong

Indulge 'til I can't feel no more
Smoke chokes my throat, and then I hit the floor
No, I can't do this anymore
I've gone to far, but still I carry on
Hope I don't wake up tomorrow
Shut off my brain, drug to avoid the sorrow
Cope, another pill to swallow
I numb my pain
