Slowly eaten from under the skin

But a cry of terror remains within

Why do you have to go, it's already late

Took the car, drove into the night

Could no longer carry the weight

Depression lies heavy on your heart

Spiritual surrender you're torn, torn apart

Staring at you like an outsider looking in

Making me feel so helpless within

A heartbeat away from having no heartbeat at all

Ready to end the fight

So close you're devoted to death

So close hold on and take a deep breath

Once again a flashlight to guide

Once again try to keep everything inside

Depression lies heavy on your heart

Spiritual surrender you're torn, torn apart

A heartbeat away from having no heartbeat at all
