[Verse 1: Sam Mackey]
I take a breath and count to ten
But even then I feel the obsession
Coming its creeping in
Upon its arrival I take one last look
Memories scrapped in a book
For what its worth I tried
I don't have a choice
Now that's a f**ing lie
For what will I go the distance
Run so there's no witness
Man I know you hear these words
But I don't think you listen
Drag my body to the dirt
So I can rest and have the rest of my family hurt
Fill me up with ambition
Take away this obsession
Insanity has swallowed me down to my knees
I don't know how to give in so god please
Here is I surrender
No longer trying to win as a contender
God pray for her I hear as I walk down the street
They're all staring at me
Cause I can't help these tears running down my cheek
[Verse 2: Sam Mackey]
I drag my feet across the concrete
My body is heavy I'm beat
Show me how to live I repeat
Again and again
Take another step and then
I fall hard to the ground
Don't want to be seen don't want to be found
Leave me be this is where I belong, laying on the street
What's my name? What the hell do I believe?
Ready to give in, I scream for help
Arms wrapped tight knees to chest
Stripped my armor, just my child is left
No protection
He whispers, "The needle is your weapon."
No I'm fighting the thought
My body tenses up
I don't want to die! Harder and harder I cry
Take one last look at the sky
And there she is, I see her eyes
My body stops the fight
She helps me rise
Hugs me tight
Sam, everything Is going to be alright
