I'll never be saved


The darkness surrounds me

The light grows faint

I'm falling endlessly

Engulfed in pain

I can feel the cooling touch

The air whisps by

Falling into this abyss

I soon become blind

I don't know where I'm going

I've lost the will to go on

Down this dark path

For something I've done wrong

Just wish I could leave

Just wish I'd wake up

But something whispers to me

"no need to rush"

Smoke surrounds me

As I breathe it in

I've turned back to the drugs

turned back to the sin

I feel someone reaching for me

Trying to grab hold

Trying to free me

To win back my soul

I suddenly think,

maybe I'm saved

But even if I wake it out

I'll never be saved
