The tortuous thoughts that dance in my head
Dance like demons and seize my brain
Rendering me in their control again
Shouting seductively to blot out the light
Instinctively I know that they have won the fight
Too soon I'm suffocating, trapped inside my skin
Clinging to a future but prevented by my sin.
Alone within my passion, no reprieve from my goal
A never ending circle, no way to save my soul
No one will throw a lifeline and drag me to the shore
My struggles send me deeper and block me all the more.
Weary by this world and disillusioned by this life
The inevitable conclusion as I reach to wield the knife.
