Front Porch Step So Help Me God Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel this darkness creep like thunder
It's rolling straight into my spine
I feel temptation pull me under
My gold has lost all of its shine
I try so hard to stay together
When everything's falling apart
I said that I'd stay gold forever
It seems that I've misplaced my heart

[Chorus]
Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists and have me shot
Please save yourselves, so help me God

[Verse 2]
I once was pushed when I was younger
I gashed my knee, and I loved the pain
(Oh how I loved to feel the pain)
And suddenly I had the hunger to rise up
And make him feel the same
(I think that's when I went insane)
I pushed him back but I pushed harder
I watched him slam into the ground
(I watched him slam into the ground)
One day ill die but I'm no martyr
And I fear that hell is where I'm bound

[Chorus]
Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists and have me shot
Please save yourselves, so help me God
So help me God

[Bridge]
This gunshot will drown out the noise in my head
But these bloodstains won't cover the shame in my bed
And I can't think about it because I don't have the time
Because either way I'll lose my mind

[Chorus]
Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists and have me shot
Please save yourselves, so help me God
Save me from myself, hold me down
Lock me away, don't let me out
Tie up my wrists and have me shot
Please save yourselves, so help me God
