What do you do when you're drifting away?
Trying to maintain normalcy, keeping danger at bay
I pray to the heavenly Father, beseech Him for truth
While fear, poison and violence decay my youth

Please shed me the holy light; cleanse what's inside me
Lest the wound fester on, eating away gladly
Forgive me my blunders, forgive me my sins
I know goodness prevails,  You tell me that virtue wins

Yet I refuse to obey; so foolish by nature
Plunge straight to the hole, the pains suffered later
Always I revel in pleasure, for which I will feel remorse
Obstinate as a mule, unwavering in my course

So alone here I am, perpetually ensnared
In this entanglement of trouble, as the oppressors glared
Crimson from embarrassment, beset with shame
Dear Lord, please save me; endow me with an aim
Yours  et cetera
