Purgatory

Days are long

And the nights so cold

Down here in the gutter

It eats at your soul

I inch myself above to fall a foot back down

Addicted to my pain

And never seeking help

Have you seen seen purgatory's light

Shining from beyond

It waits for me to die

No use to even try and fight

My fate's been set in stone

So don't pray for me tonight

And if there's such a thing as a being from above

It's laughing at me now

Don't tell me who to trust

I won't accept a thing that refuses to be seen

The only thing that's real is a needle in my vain

And my story shall be told of a man who fell to earth

Not knowing how to love, or a thing about self worth

He escaped so many times from a reality of hurt

That his mind just fell apart, never to return
