I am a one time habit

a valuable mistake

I am the poison in your bloodstream

an error in the system

A storm on the horizon

An ominous refrain

A challenge to insanity

A danger to the sane

 

(ch)

I tried too hard to see

to find justification

I lost all that was me

Drowned in imitation

 

This is my last chance taken

A breakdown in the static

A nightmare hides in darkness

with terror for the witness

A comfort to the lost

who have seen the face of horror

To survive within this battlefield

no matter what the cost
