Dare if you dare
Bring me back from senseless
This time i'm down
And with no defences
I've tried bitter
Bare and broken
I've said the words
I've tried leaving thenm unspoken
I'm going down so slow
Please lord have mercy
It's hope that deserts me
I'm turning circles
No breaking for the bends
For all my efforts
Still my road don't mend
I've gave my heart
I got swept away
But to the same old sunset
Just on a different day
Now i'm going down so slow
Please lord have mercy
It's hope that deserts me
Too much walking
My soul wore thin
Too much talking
I can hardly breath in
I've took all i can take
I have bent until i have breaked
The list goes longer
And it resolves to seal my fate
I'm going down so slow
Please lord have mercy
It's hope that deserts me
