hold my arm

save me from myself
because I can't
I won't find it
there is no way

save me from myself
something's on our path
beside us, following
it's a shadow, a ghost

save me from myself
I dug a hole
too deep to get out of
on my own

save me from myself
there is no warmth
inside my mind
in this cruel dungeon

save me from myself
your warmth, your light
radiating into the black hole
it's futile to give sight

to a man who doesn't want to see

to fill the void
it's fruitless and cold
I don't think you can
save me from myself
