Negative

I've been here before and I've never liked it At the time it seemed to all crash down I learned to look back and smile on those times Where all I could ever do was frown I've faced it all time and time again Why can't I learn to avoid this fate? My inner self screams to me now "You fool, run now before it is too late." And every time I let my heart take control I die a little more Every time I let my heart take control Yes, I die a little more And this twisted feeling It takes me by my soul And then this twisted feeling It takes control So tell me why we choose to return to addictions When our last few hits nearly claimed our lives Our hearts take the lead when we don't want it No matter how hard our brains tried Cross my heart, hope not to die A path of ruin left in its wake My inner self whispers to me now "What else, what else can this poor wretch take?" And every time I let my heart take control I die a little more Every time it takes control Yes, I die a little more And this empty feeling Consumes my soul And this empty feeling Drives me deep in a hole And I wait for light to shine Stepping far out of line And then this painful feeling Takes me away
