I am alone in my quiet life
My heart awaits this haunting knife
In my hand the blade still dry
Longs for the fate I can't deny

I've walked this road in the distant past
I want this time to be the last
This tangled web I can't untie
Trapped within my own sordid lie

There is a weight I cannot lift
My heavy heart's been lost adrift
My soul sinks deeper from the sky
Tonight's the night I want to die
