Near death experiences surely open up your eyes
I finally saw the devil
In very clever disguise
I took a look in the mirror and I saw him in my eyes.
Feels like I’m fading from the world, so no one hears my cries
I found temptation where my demons seem to hide
Trying not to be the kind to follow
Yet to this sickness I did abide
Thought I could outwit it, and that’s when my world began to slide
Started with one wrong decision
And led to many others
Far beyond my vision
Like hurting those around me and my body in such a collision
For those people I love, I’m sorry, I can’t change it or make it right
But what this experience has done, is to turn on a glowing light
That helped me to see
To turn around my life
For those others with eyes upon me
Rumors and whispers I hear them speak
I understand my wrongdoing
That’s why I’m struggling to my feet
My disappointment in myself is already quite enough
Plenty of other obstacles to face
Besides your judgment, my life has gotten plenty tough
Only reason to look back now, is to learn from my mistake
So I can keep on climbing
My strength it will not break
Reality is waiting, and I’m ready to come back
From inside out I’ll remove this disease
I must be on the attack
I must be relentless and give no pull or slack
