It started out so innocent slowly sliding down the rope

Easy to implement and touch the ground

Losing my stability, letting the dark in

And in the night when I couldn't sleep
Referencing a troubled night where haunting thoughts and memories disturb sleep.
You haunted me, you stroke me to the point where I couldn't breathe

Like nightmares you come creeping in

So don't have me holding on to destructive things that happens in my head

Don't leave me hanging by a threat of life where I can't save myself

You cursed me back to a locked door, the same place I was years ago

And forced me down to the cold floor, screaming to let go

I don't wanna do this shit again I'd rather be free

So when I started telling the truth they came to, to rescue
