The Start of Salvation

These lyrics were written by Jon Plungis for our band Scapegoat in the spring and summer of 2004.

Waking to the everyday torment
My thoughts are eating away my brain
Trying to save myself from society
Trying to get away but can’t, suicide is the only option

Help me, help me I can’t take it anymore
Try to get away and I just can’t succeed
I try everything but it just brings me deeper
Into the worthless pit of salvation

Raise my hands above my head look for help
Nobody’s there and it just sinks me deeper
Can’t get out, the weight on my shoulders
Is too great, what is it? It is a body of a man
Who is the son of a man, he is very religious
But somehow he ended up down here away from it all
Trying to get away, trying to save himself

Help me, help me I can’t take it anymore
Try to get away and I just can’t succeed
I try everything but it just brings me deeper
Into the worthless pit of salvation

Finally a helping hand, but he isn’t helping
He wants my soul and he is close
To getting it from my body, he wants
My life and he can’t have it, he takes the
Life from another man and throws the body
On top of me, the weight is too great
Sinking deeper and deeper until it’s too late

Help me, help me I can’t take it anymore
Try to get away and I just can’t succeed
I try everything but it just brings me deeper
Into the worthless pit of salvation
Help me, help me I can’t take it anymore
Try to get away and I just can’t succeed
I try everything but it just brings me deeper
Into the worthless pit of salvation
