Ode to The Beginning of The End by Melodie Yvonne

Am I too far gone to make it, too late to be saved?
Will I ever feel what stable’s like?
All these places that I run just tryin’ to escape
Detroit, the coast, New York’s the same alike

This acrid doom it follows me most everywhere I go
And I’m just lookin’ for a friendly hand
How much further I can go is anybody’s guess
I’m tryin’ and doin’ the fucking best I can

I heard salvation‘s hidin’ in the eye of this here storm
But my red eyes are swallowed up by hate
This cruel ass world has swallowed almost everything I love
And I’m about to self disintegrate

I’m trying to go for one last Savior, one last fucking dream
One last motherfucking piece of pie
And if this time this shit don’t work and I just can’t get out
I hope at least that I can fucking die
