Saved From Life
Save me from the thing that is called life
For I cannot stand it anymore
The pain overwhelms the good
The dark takes over the light

Save me from the thing that is called life
For all I can see is death
The grim reapers outnumber the angels
And evil consumes everything that I love

Save me from the thing that is called life
For it is nothing but a nightmare
The heavens fall into hell
And burn a charcoal black

Save me, oh please save me
For the pain is far too great
Death defeats life's purpose
Which it seems-there never was

Save me from the thing that is called life
Precious to some, nothing to others
The blood runs through my veins
And I cannot stand the feeling

And yet, oh and yet
I feel I must go on
Why, I do not know
Overwhelmed I walk
A lake, so perfect stands
And I realize that
Had I not lived
I would not have seen
The beauties life offers
To balance out the ugly
And I feel no longer
The need to be

Saved from life.
