Last Step

When your smile is fading, the light disappears
Where there's nothing but darkness, faces of fears
Staring and chasing you down as you run
Solace and peace in the form of a gun
But what lies beyond this seeming escape
Dark shadows and demons begin to take shape
Can't help but wonder which fate is worse
The drama and pressure of chapter and verse
Or the torture of throwing this story away
All consuming fire making ashes of today
But tomorrow seems too hard to bear
When, little by little you've ceased to care
What lurks in wait, behind the other door
And whether this is all worth fighting for
A blanket of prayer has covered you
Until you decided you know not what you do
