why throw away everything for this one pleasure
only to get lifted up and dropped twice as low
the flash flood can be stopped
just put down the bottle, close your eyes
the buck stops here
set your foot down
dig the trenches
this is a battle

pick up the shattered pieces from the gutter
in your mind's mirror, the stitches you have sewn yourself together with are invisible
but to minds unclouded they are scars that never heal
the ugly reminder of a past life

you will regret this night
keep in mind, no matter what you do, there's no escape
set your foot down
dig the trenches
this is a battle

just one more peek
(there's no escape)
just one more hit
(there's no escape)
just one more drink
(there's no escape)
(there's no escape from the eyes of our God)
