Salvation

​Sitting on the floor
Praying
Searching for numbers
Praying to something
Reading self-help books
Praying for help
I Need Help
Oh, God please help me
That needle feels too fine
when it sinks into
the first vein you can find
When you lower yourself
into the floor
you watch everything
pass you by
Life death it’s all too real
The truth
Flipping the pages
Reading for salvation
Trying to uncover
the reason you do this to
yourself
You’re so broken
There’s a hole
in your heart
You hocked your soul
so long ago
that there’s just no
going back
Oh God, please help
ME
Somebody
fuckin listen to me
But it’s too late
The weight of existence
swallows you up
like quicksand
God, will somebody come
and help me
out of this rut
You see a hand
coming from above
From the sky it reaches
down to you
I’m sorry, brother
I wish it got to you
sooner
