FORGIVE ME
The gates of Hell stare back at me
Trapped in this downward spiral
I have nowhere to go
Wasting away so slow
Haunting me still, they pull me down
As my sanity crumbles
Sucked down into this lie
With my last breath I cry
Forgive me
I'm a dead and broken soul
Take one hard look at the pain
That's swallowed at me whole
Release me
I cannot take it anymore
Please help me to forget
This useless life that I deplore
Demons chase me through the night
I'm backed into a corner
Why can't they leave me be?
Is it so hard to see?
On my knees, I pray for death
I do not fear the end
Buried neck-deep in sin
I see no way to win
Forgive me
I'm a dead and broken soul
Take one hard look at the pain
That's swallowed at me whole
Release me
I cannot take it anymore
Please help me to forget
This useless life that I deplore
This war inside my head
And all the blood it's shed
All these words I've said
For when I wind up dead
Somebody save me from this dark and lonely prison
I will not suffer anymore
The pain was never worth the pleasure of it all
I am not afraid
