Again by Melodie Yvonne

I don’t wanna live inside this sin I’m living in
I don’t wanna lay awake reliving it again
I don’t wanna feel this breaking heart for one more day
I just wish there was a way that I could make it go away

These never ending nightmares replay deep inside my mind
Don’t dig in any deeper ‘cause you won’t like what you find
Depravity and soulless lust tattooed deep in my skin
It’s a never ending battle that I’m never gonna win

I wish there was a way that I could make it go away
I never sleep, but somehow I’m just sleeping life away
It’s gettin’ harder not to drink and piss it all away
But I just don’t wanna feel this breaking heart for one more day

I’m running out of duct tape and my soul is getting thin
I’ve always got my towel, but I’m about to throw it in
I’m moving way passed caution throwing panic to the wind
And I just don’t wanna feel this shit again again again

These never ending nightmares replay deep inside my mind
Don’t dig in any deeper ‘cause you’ll run from what you find
Depravity and soulless lust tattooed deep in my skin
It’s a never ending battle and I’m never gonna win

So I just keep right on doing it again again again
