The fear and the doubt, the fear and the doubt grow deeper again This process is agony, to sever the ties and shatter the pretense Is this the end? Is this the end of how I once lived? It's killing my family; addiction, it spreads like a cancer within me Can there be more than this? Am I really living a life if living a life is like this? Or is it a lie? Forever a slave to this one tragic vice Keep rolling the dice, but fate plays my hand, leaves me nothing but snake eyes Take steps into the dark And when you've lost your way, just shine a light on me I watch the shadows dance around me Like echoes of misery, they're nothing more than history now Just like my father said, when there's dark days ahead I understand, just take my hand and shine your light on me Just shine your light on me Just shine your light on me Just shine a light on me, oh It's happened again I promised myself I'd break free from this trend But my consciousness wavers Risking the bet without placing a wager Torn between relapse and rapture I'll make my stand and descend to the depths Of self-preservation buried deep in the landfill Laid to waste with the wrath of my kin I will be the remnant of transgression So forgive me my sins And take steps into the dark And when you've lost your way, just shine your light on me I watch the shadows dance around me Like echoes of misery, they're nothing more than history now Just like my father said, when there's dark days ahead I understand, just take my hand and shine your light on me Just shine your light on me Just shine your light on me I promised you that I would be a better man I'm taking steps to achieve the master plan I swear I never meant to let my family down I think I let you down I promised you that I would be a better man Took for granted the things that made me who I am I swear I never meant to let my family down I guess I let you down I promised you that I would be a better man Took for granted the things that made me who I am I swear I never meant to let my family down I guess I let you down
