X marks the spot

Inspired by Criminal Minds: Evolution. Damien and Jade's story. Great show and cast.

X marks the spot

Step through the door
X marks the spot
Lined up myself with
That red dot

She takes her aim
She makes the shot
Now I'm dead
Nothing to stop

All sins forgotten
All faith restored 
My soul needs saving
It's time to soar

She's on the run
Again and again 
My only connection 
My only friend

She screams into the void
She's terrified but free
There's always a part of her
That will wish she was me
