In an act of desperation, he put a gun to his head

In his mind confusion, nothing but delusion, thinking he was better off dead

No one to be his savior, from the vices he made

Voices callin' to him, left his life in ruins, drugs have led his mind astray



God, don't you hear me? God, don't you care?

Cause if you did, my friend, you wouldn't leave me hangin' on this way

Somebody turn on the lights, somebody give me some air

I'm in the middle of a nasty situation that is leading me on nowhere

I gotta hear you tonight, I gotta know that you care

You got me down on my knees and I'm praying and I gotta know you're really out there



The second hand is ticking, time moves ahead

Feel the shadows breathing, whispering and seething, dealing inside my head

A Candle flame before me, flickers in dance

As I sit here praying, hoping that I'm swaying the Gods of second chance

All cry to heaven, all cry for truth

And while we wait for lights and thunder, the devil is on the loose



Somebody turn on the lights, somebody give me some air

I'm in the middle of a nasty situation that is leading me on nowhere

I gotta hear you tonight, I gotta know that you care

You got me down on my knees and I'm praying and I gotta know you're really out there
