Life
What are these lights that I see?
Things in my head that can't agree.
Like tunnels to a new dark place.
I'm so scared and alone, I can't see anyone's face.
Takes away from what I am supposed to enjoy.
I feel so helpless like a little boy.
I now have things to make them stop.
Can't mix it because it will make me drop.
One fateful night I did things wrong.
I feel less and less strong.
This incredible feeling coming over me.
In a little bit I will be gone.
An uncontrollable belief that I'm going to die.
I look at my girl as she begins to cry.
she keeps me going and going.
My eyes wide open she gets my blood flowing.
Things racing through my mind.
I didn't mean to but this pain and fear in her.
This wasn't supposed to occur.
The look in my friends eyes with such sorrow.
I just hope I am here to see the ones I love tomorrow.
The look in eyes I'll never forget it.
I know what he is feeling and will not quit.
My parents that I let down.
They now down on me with a frown.
The feel of death lay upon me.
All I can do is pray to God and plea.
It's strange but I've had this feeling before.
Somewhere maybe in my dreams, reaching for heavens door.
It feels like I am waking up from this bad dream.
All I want to do is scream.
No matter what anybody says, I seen the devils face.
Said sorry, but this is not my place.
My life that I now hold in my hand.
All of it now in my command.
A new found respect that I hold.
That will be forever untold.
My wonderful life.
