Won't Stop; Can't Stop

I remember when I used to read the bible to myself

How I never feared the thought of going to hell.

I began to fall into the darkness, time would tell;

That I had already fallen into my own pit of fire.



What's happening to me? Oh God, why can't I breathe?

Adrenaline is pumping so rapidly through my veins;

I know theres something wrong with me, it's not hard to see

But I can't stop, no, I won't stop. I live day by day.



I trust in God's words, I've never given Him my doubts

But somehow I'm losing my breath, and I'm about to drown.

They're all telling me I'm falling within a world of sin;

But I can't stop, no, I won't stop to contain the beast within.



I have to urge to hold her in my arms, blocking out the world

I want to breathe in the smoke, I want to scream words unheard.

I want to live, I want to be free. I want to open up and breathe.

How can I do that? If Gods judgement isn't finding me worthy?



| What has become of me? Is this truely my fate? |

|If so, then God, please. Hear me pray...|
