Now Or Never

This darkness corrodes my soul 
and I am screamng for the seeds of my salvation
I've lost control of this suffering they call life
A new beginning I await in anticipation
it's what I need to do to feel I'm free and living for a reason
this is my season
squeeze the blood from the stone that is said to be thicker than I
if only I would try
it's do or die
this town is digging my grave
can I be saved 
or will I be looking back in years to come
with regrets of all I wish I'd done 
and comparisons of all that I once had
no where i go feels like home
i need to roam
to keep these inner demons at bay
what to decide here
I know I can catch the midnight rider
my time is now
