========== Lyrics: ====================
Somebody save me
Somebody kill
All of the demons
Up on the hill
I know you could do it
If you'd only try
Somebody save me
I'm going to die
Somebody break down
Cut loose the cords
That hold me so tightly
To these burning boards
Counting my blessings
Saying goodbye
Somebody save me
I'm going to die
Somebody call out
And break up this spell
Driving me under
The surface of hell
I know you could do it
If you'd only try
Somebody save me
I'm going to die
I know you could do it
If you'd only try
Somebody save me
I'm going to die
