Jerry Axson - Down to the Wire Lyrics

Better take out your healing powders and
Call up your street mourners too
I'm about one mil off the mark
And I don't know what I'm going to do
Damn this thing in my chest
Beats like a drum machine
For the wicked there is no rest
Down to the wire it seems
It seems

I'm not going to sleep tonight because I
I'll just dream of you
And that breaks down my resistance
It leaves me with these blues
So down to the water I'll run
Down, down, down
You can watch me drown in the light
All my sins fall down to the ground
To the ground

Even with it all wrapped up in an "easy to the touch" skin
You've got to stand by your conviction - that's all you have in the end
Save me from the monster inside that's screaming to break out of here
Save me from myself because myself is the monster I fear
I fear
