Bloodshot

So here we are at the end of the road
I can't believe
That I've gotten this far
On my own
When will this ice cold grip detach from this heart
It's a feeling that just won't depart

With one foot in the grave
I'm falling deeper
Forced to fend for myself
Torn and weak
Stuck in this cycle of pain
I can't escape
I can't escape myself
I've found happiness in self destruction
But the damage is done (But the damage is done)
It keeps me coming back for more
(Taking more and more)

This pain won't leave my veins
But the light inside still fades
No sanctuary to keep me safe
I'm crying out for help

My heart is pounding as
The poison fills my veins
I watch and stare
What will it take
I'm wasting away
As the light starts to fade
Will this take away the pain
Or send me off the edge

I see the water rising
Time is running thin
Poison flowing through
Let the walls cave in

The light inside still fades
As the life's leaving my veins
This can't be the end to the story
You may have won this battle
But this war is mine
This pain won't leave my veins
But the fire inside won't fade
I found the light to guide my way
My sanctuary is here to stay
I may be broken
But my heart is pure
I will fight to the very end
I will not bow to this disease
I will grind tooth and nail till I'm free
