soul thief

 
did you feel me fade?
lost to the deep dark
inside a great ache

I fell to my feet and cried out
take my pain from me
of this I beg

I languished in the belly of the beast
for three days
god damn it
it hurt

then you came in
took away the weight
now I can see my way through
past the fangs of addiction
that stole my will

bleeding internally
it's a terrible crime I've been committing
selling little pieces of me
for what?

a rush, a thrill
lost to the game
I died little deaths of shame

fuck me running
I can see her on the horizon
a new lady
shining and bright
a warrior
able to take on the devil

so I cast off the broken
I won't be a lost to the smoke
Meth you can keep peddling death
it won't be be my soul you're stealing
