These chains have lessened their hold on me
Wrists scarred no longer
The hurt rolls from teardrops on my cheeks
No longer in red streaks
I am nearly free from my present bondange
Steps I take are steady and cautious
I'm walking down an unstable stairway
Should I fall, I won't be able to be revived
Decisions, decisions, my mind plays tricks on me
Racing thoughts in my head
I am unsure how to climb out of the murky water
I'm held captive, and slowly being pulled under.

I'm pulled under now, I have no control
I'm sinking into this dark hole
Leave me be in this cold isolation
Let me thrust the blades on the flesh
Let me feel free
Momentarily

I'm pushed down by the world and losing control
I'm about to break
And no one can rescue me
I'm better gone than here among you
To be gone forever is to be alive
On wings I'll fly
No one will bring me down
My chains will diminish
This pain has taken a toll on me
