you ask me when I'm gonna return

I ask you "why so much concern?"

the same snakes that drive you from my bed

turn to voices and drive me out of my head

for fourteen days since you been back around

trying to keep my spirits high and my demons down

but, can't you see

you got to save me or set me free


'cause I'm falling in deeper - darkness, my old friend

I'm in deeper - stay with me till the end

deeper - you know I got no restraint

I'm in deeper

and lucky you

you get to be my saint

temporary saint


cleaning up one more time is sure getting old

why don't you bury me like the dirt that's in my soul

what makes you think you could love me, anyway?

ain't nobody told you about the way I operate

ain't nobody told you, baby?

well, I guess that makes you the only one


'cause I'm falling in deeper - darkness, my old friend

I'm in deeper - stay with me till the end

deeper - you know I got no restraint

I'm in deeper

and lucky you, yeh, lucky you

you get to be my saint

temporary saint


angel of mercy, set me free

do you really give a damn for me?


'cause I'm falling in deeper - darkness, my old friend

I'm in deeper - stay with me till the end

deeper - you know I got no restraint

I'm in deeper
