Avalanche

My head’s gone under I hope I don’t drown
Sometimes I can’t believe how fast the sun goes down
The trap is sprung and I’ve been caught
The stars are out but the moon is not
Feels like I’m going the wrong way down a one way street
Can’t wait until the next car in line and mine meet
What’s in a lie? My life’s a sham
I wish I were strong as everybody thinks I am
It would be sublime
If I could finish this climb
But the avalanche takes me
There’s no light, I can’t see
Can’t find my breath
I can feel the hand of death
If I could only find the strength to forgive
Then I could find the strength to crawl out and live
