The air is thick and I can't breathe Letting go of misery The hole is dug, my coffin's made The next step is up to me Afraid to step, afraid to slip With the reaper around the bend His evil eyes locked onto me Guiding me towards the end Can't let you follow me Can't let you make me sink Can't let you follow me Can't let you make me sink Jumping hurdles in this life I've been watching my step as I'm walking the line Weighing out life and death Who would care at all and who would regret There's a haze in my eyes There's a voice in my head speaking lies Venomous directions I shouldn't listen Can't let you follow me Can't let you make me sink Can't let you follow me Can't let you make me sink
