Never Again

I tried to tell you that there’s always
Two sides to the blade
I saw my future cave in from the roots of decay
The dark cloud started dancing all over the sun
Whatever it took to make my blood run
I had a ways to go
Sorrow that you’ll never know
But lately it’s beginning to show
And I tell myself never again
The armies of doubt were playing war in my head
I couldn’t recover from the things that they said
Crash landed in the safehouse under the stairs
Last place on earth where anyone cares
Never dreamed I’d fall to this
Something that I couldn’t resist
And now I just clench my fists
And I tell myself never again
Run silent, run deep, run as fast as you can
Let the rest of the world slide through your hands
Old habits die hard like a fatal disease
They cut you so deep, you can never come clean
I’ve got a past to pay
I got demons to face
I can’t just run away
But I tell myself never again
