Salvation

The days have gotten longer
The nights have gotten colder
The urges have gotten stronger
The thoughts have gotten bolder.

I'm lying to those who see me
They think I have it all together
I can't stand this intense slavery
I can't help but want to end forever.

I've lost the will to seek a change
I am now at an all-time low
Everywhere I look, things are strange
Desperation freezes me; I can't move; I want to go.

I need to find something greater than the pain
The pain that's kept me going for so long
I know I need to be cleansed by the rain
I know this addiction is truly wrong.

It's hard to believe when things fall apart
I cling to the past that's raping me
I need to let it go, heal my shattered heart
Maybe then salvation will begin saving me.
