It's been a few years since that time
I ran into that stranger
That fateful meeting that shifted
The course of my life
Can't say it was for the better
But little did I know
Didn't hesitate when he promised a whole new world
If only I could turn back time
Save me from myself
I need a means of escape
From this temptation that I struggle to resist
Tell me everything is gonna be alright
As I contemplate delight
Struggling to find the slightest hint of joy
Well, ain't it such a pity?
Can't recall the last time I smiled
Or felt happy
Shut out the voice of reason long ago
But I do not regret it
Content knowing no one will mourn me
When I fade out of here
Save me from myself
I need a means of escape
From this temptation that I struggle to resist
Tell me everything is gonna be alright
As I contemplate delight by the syringe
