Almost

Oh, it almost made you do it

Yes, did nearly set you free

Almost helped you to go

To the place you crave to be

All the days and every morning

As it dawns on your consciousness

That it's time to bare yourself again

Patterning desperate awareness

Creeps through the nervous system

The pain dies and reborns fresh

Huge storm of dire sensations

Like ripping apart your flesh

Oh, it almost sent you home

In seductive self-destruction

With sore and sensitive skin

Breathing by thick obstruction

And when you were almost there

Could anticipate the relieve

But was dragged back in time

They would never let you leave
