Relapse

Tear the stitch from my open wound
Time would heal
But I never wanted to

Roots run deep
Poison rushes through
Left its hooks in me
Severed my sense of truth

I take one step forward
Then two steps back
'Til I run out of time in the hourglass
When heaven is full
And hell don't want me back
Watch it fade to black
As I relapse

You might call me insane
Withdrawing from the pain
Tell myself I can change
Swear I'm not an addict
Just another bad habit

I take one step forward
Then two steps back
'Til I run out of time in the hourglass
When heaven is full
And hell don't want me back
Watch it fade to black
As I relapse
I should stop
But I ain't one to quit
So you can save yourself
Or free fall in this bottomless pit
