Promise me you'll stay away Stay away from this torment Through charity i'm seeking clarity Please bring release Please show me peace I've had enough of these games Every step that I take I'm haunted by, the memories of my past mistakes Stay away from me It's now when I need I need you the most I can't change my ways Promise me you'll stay away Let me live out this misery Let me Rot, let me slip into sleep, don't wake me I'm in too deep I find beauty in this darkness Im hopeless, i've lost faith I have no answers for the way I behave Stay away from me It's now when I need you the most I can't change my ways Every step I take I don't want to hurt anymore I can't change my ways It's time to rewrite this chapter I need to step up, step out Pick myself up, break through the darkness Every step, that I take, haunts me Finding myself in the same position once again Every night Lying in solace, choking on the breath I'm trying to catch Praying each one will be my last, and I can finally achieve what I need but don't have the means to do Held down by the weight of emptiness Rendered helpless by the destructive nature of my own mind At times the guilt of acknowledging the fact That I might succumb to the last siren song of the black dog tears me apart But I know in the end I'll finally be able to sleep Stay away from me It's now when I need you the most I can't change my ways Every step I take I don't want to hurt anymore I can't change my ways Every step I take I don't to hurt anymore I can't change my ways
