I keep a secret
Buried deep
It eats away my soul
It stole from me
My childhood
Of horrors
That can't be told

It took away
My happy
And drowned my heart
With fear
My soul was buried deep
With anger
I wanted to be left alone

But the secrets
Burdened me
And my heart
Made heavy ladened
I couldn't take it
Anymore
I wanted a quick
Escape

The drugs
So close
Whisky
So sweet
I needed the escape
But the overdose
That fateful night
Stopped my life
At a screeching halt

My life is paused
Now I must choose
Which life path I will take
I can turn
My life around
I guess it's not
Too late

So I got back up
and laid down
That joint
I was ready to get better

But six months sober
My life got harder
And that little voice
Returned

Just a drink
To numb the pain
To be able to forget
The past
That haunting offer
Oh, so sweet
Haunts my every thought

No! I scream
I won't go back
I won't destroy
My life

It's the dance
I do
With my demons
At night
An epic battle
At blade
