Still Sinking

(album: Inside My Head - 2022)

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
