save me

I wrote this last year when I was in a really bad place, and this song is pretty much me asking God to kill me.

Whoo!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonight I pray you let me go

Tonight I pray you give me hope

Tonight I pray you answer me

Tonight I pray I stay asleep

Forever

Because being awake is just too hard for me

I don't know if I'll make it out in one piece

God, let me stay asleep

God, save me

Tonight I beg you hear me now

Tonight I beg you show me how

To be who you want me to be

To be somebody who is free

Set me free

Because being awake is just too hard for me

I'm afraid that I won't make it out in one piece

God, let me stay asleep

God, save me

Please

All I ask

Is that you get me out

Of this mess

I'm tired

Make it end

Make the pounding in my head

Go to rest

Forever

Please

I'm on my knees

Set me free

Because being awake is just too hard for me

I'm afraid that I won't make it out in one piece

God, let me stay asleep

God, if you're out there listening

God, if you hear me

God, save me please
