Broken Promise Tonight

Giving in to paranoia One touch to ease my mind A promise I'm breaking to myself As I silently join their kind A place I promised I'd never be I've come to find tonight  As I travel down a new path Even though I know it's not right I'm tired of pretending To be someone and something I'm not Another touch fueling destruction I couldn't care less if I'm caught Because the people that matter see my every move And anticipate it before I do So it comes to no surprise to them Who I've chosen as my new crew My new comrades take away my pain With their own torture they heal My broken self which chooses To no longer feel Here in a stupor I sit and I write Because I know nothing else That can help me tonight
