Before I Fade

Hold on, I’m reaching for a light,

Caught between wrong and right.

Whisper my name, don't let me fall,

Before I lose it all.

Walking the edge of a shadowed maze,

Lost in a haze, trapped in my days.

Craving a hand to pull me through,

Someone to love me, to see me true.

I’ve spun in the darkness, I’m losing my grip,

Fighting my demons, sinking in quicksand slip.

But one glance, one touch, could change my fate,

Hold me close before I fall too late.

I need someone to love me, before I lose myself again,

Before these chains of addiction wrap and pull me in.

Reach out your heart, don’t turn away,

Save me from myself today.

Memories whisper, tempting and cold,

Fighting the urge, feeling so bold.

Every step, a battle within,

Craving salvation, longing to begin.

Break these walls, hear my plea,

Lend me your strength, set me free.

Before the night devours my soul,

Hold me, love, make me whole.

I need someone to love me, before I lose myself again,

Before these chains of addiction wrap and pull me in.

Reach out your heart, don’t turn away,

Save me from myself today.

Can you see beyond the scars,

Find the light behind these bars?

In your arms, I might survive,

Help me fight to stay alive.

Hold on, stay near, don’t let me go,

Be my refuge, let your love show.

Before I lose myself to the night,

Be my dawn, my guiding light.
