Slipping back down into the

Slipping back down into the darkness,

As the depression closes in around me i lose all senses.

Reaching for you... 

For your all that brings me back.

 

For without you i'm forced to go to my old friend.

As much as i miss the crimson color of blood, 

I know i'd miss you more.

For you once gave me the choice... The blade or you. 

 

I chose you.. 

It feels good not to self-harm when i get down,

Yet sometimes i slip up and relapse.

But i'm on the road to recovery...

 

On the road to the light..

I look forward to the day when the darkness of depression doesn't crush me.

For now i still hurt,

But maybe one day ..  maybe one day..

 

I'll Be Free.?
