When Life's A-Callin'

swallowed whole by the pains of this society
the troubles of this life deem death to my sobriety 
screaming from within for something more
I found it, but what did i do? left it at the door
With His arms wide open, my way out
yet it seems that my feet won't move
or my mindset is screwed
either way all sense, from me, elude 
knowing what i must do
yet dying not to
when Life's a-callin'....
