Straitjacket

lyrics by: Trevor Cartwright
Written on Nov 26, 2024 

Verse 1

Someone please help me
I’m lost and afraid
Take my hand, help me see
I can’t find my way...(home)

Forests of regret
Desperate hope fading 
Twilight gray sunset
Darkness hides my way...(home)

Chorus 

So hold me against my will. Never let go (echo: never let go)
Bind my soul, enslave my mind. Never let go (echo: never let go)

Verse 2

I know I’m to blame
Where do I begin?
Drowning in my shame
Drive the blade deeper in

Muffled anguish cries
Plead for mercy’s call
My deserved demise
Take my life, take my all

Bridge

Straight jacket
Take it all
Straight jacket
Take it all
