Only Escape

The sound is fading from my ears,
my vision slowly becoming a blur.
The numbness is creeping in my veins,
intoxication is my only cure.

The darkness makes me vulnerable,
making my bones feel frail and weak.
My lungs are black and weeping,
i'm finding it difficult to breathe.

I'm ready to let it all go now,
ready to eliminate each reason to cry.
I'm ridding all anger and pain,
and to the fear I say good bye.

There's no reason for any shame,
no room to carry any useless guilt.
I'm done with feeling so much hatred,
I'm kicking down the wall i've built.

My gaurds are all down now,
i'm no longer playing it safe.
All this time I was running from life,
when life was my only escape.
