Promise of Peace

[Verse]
Two spirits linger in the shadowed room
A jar of pills whispers sweet perfume
A bottle of wine sings a siren's call
Both waiting to catch me as I start to fall
[Chorus]
They promise peace where the chaos won’t grow
A quiet release from the ache I know
So I let them in
Let them take control
Sliding softly into the void’s cold hold
[Verse 2]
Their voices hum like a ghostly breeze
A soothing hymn meant to set me free
They bind my heart in their velvet chain
Saying they'll cradle me away from pain
[Chorus]
They promise peace where the chaos won’t grow
A quiet release from the ache I know
So I let them in
Let them take control
Sliding softly into the void’s cold hold
[Bridge]
The womb of nothingness pulls me tight
A hollow embrace in the endless night
But as I dissolve
Their faces fade
And I wonder if I’ve been betrayed
[Chorus]
They promised peace where the chaos won’t grow
A quiet release from the ache I know
But now I drift in the dark unknown
Two spirits left me here
All alone
