cut my wrists in fear

where do i go from here

my mind's less than clear 

do i turn in shame 

from what could save

do i find my knees and pray?

im sorry for my sins

i prepare for the end

you just let me know when

its hard like a boulder 

this world's gettin colder

but i will stand strong 

till you call for your soldier
