I feel this darkness creep like thunder
It's rolling straight into my spine
I feel temptation pull me under, my gold has lost all of its shine
I try so hard to stay together, when everything's falling apart
I said that I'd stay gold forever
But it seems that I've misplaced my heart

Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists, and have me shot
Please save yourselves so help me God

Once I was pushed when I was younger
I gashed my knee and loved the pain
And suddenly I had the hunger, to rise up
And make him feel the same
I pushed him back but I pushed harder
I watched him slam into the ground
One day I'll die but I'm no martyr
And I fear that hell is where I'm bound

Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists, and have me shot
Please save yourselves so help me God
So help me God

This gun shout will drown out, the noise in my head
But these bloodstains won't cover the shame on my bed
And I can't think about it, 'cause I don't have the time
'Cause either way I'll lose my mind

Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists, and have me shot
Please save yourselves so help me God
