A Little Further Down

I'm burning up inside 
As my soul travels into flames
There's nowhere to run this time
I deserve the pain

Carrying this mirror around 
To remind myself of my mistakes 
All the time that I let slip away
The paranoia keeps feeding off my plate
My heart palpitates for an escape
While my lungs are drowning

My mind becomes a prison 
A place for sinners whose sins go unforgiven
My conscience is the reason for all my fear
Lost track of how long I've been down here
Poisonous errs have me rooted in the ground 
I can't seem to cut loose and become free 

Hell is just a little further down 
Waiting for me
