Drowning In Fear

So there I lay, cold and weeping 
voices of my mistakes screaming in my ear  
thoughts of my life I might not be keeping 
drowning in my own useless fear  
and the rain began to pour  
the blood was washed away  
it was me he then came for 
let me live another day  
I almost lost the battle that night  
and many other nights close calls  
he's the only one who can let me win the fight  
but how long until my life falls 
and hes not there to save me  
my fears want me dead, maybe then I'll be free
