Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I got a candle And I've got a spoon I live in a hallway with no doors and no rooms And under a window sill They all were found A touch of concrete within the doorway Without a sound Someone save me if you will And take away all these pills And please just save me, if you can From my blasphemy in my wasteland How did I get here And what went wrong Couldn't handle forgiveness Now I'm far beyond gone And I can hardly remember The look of my own eyes How could I love this, My life so dishonest It made me compromise Someone save me if you will And take away all these pills And please just save me, if you can From my blasphemy in my wasteland Jump in the water Jump in with me Jump on the altar Lay down with me My hardest question To answer is why Why Someone save me if you will And take away all these pills And please just save me, if you can From my blasphemy in my wasteland Someone save me [Repeat: x2] Somebody save me [Repeat: x2] Please don't erase me
