Hell Within

My Exit In Red

Hell Within


I've bled myslef a river red 
Well, I'll bleed for you no longer 
Time will not be kept my master 
My riddled body shakes 
The fear inside me breaks 
The arrowed tongue beckons me Crawl... 
Enslaved my bitter soul 
A hundred knives cutting, stabbing 
My brittle bones 
Ground in the grease of addiction 
I've seen the end 
Through many miles of long dead road 
Leading nowhere 
Have I stayed for too long? 
Hold fast the moorings break 
So frail the chains 
You can't heal the wounds I've spent years on 
So callous in our shame 
Blind to what I hide 
Grip the wheel, lead footed 
Straight to my demise 
No sympathy when the addict dies 
I've seen the end 
Through many miles of long dead roads 
Leading nowhere 
Beneath the river bed 
A scarlet rive red 
Flowing cold from the hole in my head The lives that we make are only a prelude to our graves 
A shell of a man takes his shot 
Just one shot to the face 
I'm blind to what I need 
My resolve fast fading 
Stomach knots 
Evisceration 
My god can't you set me free? 
Lord, end this tragedy 
I've seen the end 
Through many mile of long dead roads Leading me nowhere 
Beneath the river bed 
A Scarlet river red 
Flowing cold from the hole in my head 
My exit in red 
Grant peace to me
