Just One More

suddenly numb

and stricken dumb

unable to express my feelings

only able to stand here reeling

wonder why I feel this way

I'm without hope, and oh so cliche

heart is racing, pulse erratic

mind is racing, thoughts are static

fingers move of their own accord

wonder how I can afford

to live, to love, to be alive

wonder how I will survive

give me strength to make it through

give me a reason to stay, to renew

my strength of heart and strength of mind

I cannot think, I've been rendered blind

by wallowing in my pain

and opening the vein

to surrender to the depression

and give into regression

just one more time

and I swear I'll be fine

just one more slice

it feels so nice

just one more line

and it'll all be fine

just one more shot

sold all I've got

just one more fix

and I'll call it quits

I swear.
